Top 8 dev-tools you can use to get anything you want in life 🤯

Save

The title might be a bit clickbait, but hear me out ❣️
No matter how good a programmer you are, nobody knows what you do.

I have been working as a programmer for seven years at a company, and nobody outside the company knew my skill level.

So what happens if I get fired or want a better position in a different company?

This tool can help you stay on top of things.
Here are the open-source tools you need.

Toolsforall


1. Postiz - Open-source social media scheduling tool

One of the best ways to get visibility is through social media.
Postiz helps you to:

  • Post your content on multiple social media at the same time.
  • Schedule your content (time it) so you post it when people are online.
  • Get help from AI to generate content so you can create content faster.
  • If you are lazy, add your social media channels and let somebody else manage them.

2. Dub - Open-source short-linking

Let's say you use Postiz. How can you know how your content performs on social media? Views don't mean that people go to your website. Dub can help you out:

  • You can shorten your links and add UTMs; I will explain more about it in Plausible.
  • You can count the number of clicks on your links.
  • You can check which country is accessing your links. Based on the country, you can determine the best time to post.

3. Plausible - Open source website analytics tool

So you get social media posts and track them with Dub. People are now on your website. What's now? This is the time to use plausible.

  • If you add utm_source to your dub links, you can track the number of people from every campaign and then check their engagement with the website.
  • You can measure different events. Let's say you have a hire me button. You can fire an event when somebody clicks on it. Then, you can track which link they clicked and what social media posts they came from.
  • You can learn from your analytics dashboard what worked for you and what didn't.

4. Dittofeed - Open-source customer engagement

People come to your website, contact you, or register for your stuff. What now? Meet Dittofeed:

  • Dittofeed can help you with follow-ups. Let's say somebody contacts you. Ditto will email the person several times until you get the necessary answer.
  • You can connect multiple workflows, such as email messages, SMS messages, and so on, to follow up with people who are interested in you.
  • You can connect existing channels like Resend, Twilio, and Postmark.

5. Cal.com - Open-source calendar scheduling tool

What do you want to get in the end? If you're going to get a new job or a new opportunity, people will need to schedule a call with you. Cal will help you:

  • Display a fantastic calendar component that people can schedule in their free time.
  • Remind people to join your event multiple times.
  • Simple one link that you can send everybody.

6. Listmonk - Open-source newsletter

Once people visit your website, they will be exposed to you for the first time. They might not be fully convinced that you are who you say you are.
So you can allow them to learn from you whenever you have a new content piece.
For that, you can use Listmonk.

  • Load contacts and send email to multiple people at once
  • Check who opened your email and from what country
  • Check who clicked on your link and from what country

7. Subvert - Open-source quick AI video editor

Getting your content out on social media is not always enough to take people's attention. Unfortunately, people consume too much content daily, and to get attention, you need to do something more unique. For that, you can use Subvert

  • Take your videos and enhance them.
  • Generate subtitles, chapters, and summaries of videos in seconds with the help of OpenAI.

8. Laudspeaker - Open-source Onboarding

Like Dittofeed, Laudspeaker allows you to interact with your visitors after they put in their details.

  • Visual Journey Builder: Build complex workflows the whole team can understand using a visual tool.
  • Multiple messaging channels: Trigger Push, Email, SMS, Webhooks, and more to nudge users back to complete specific flows.
  • Run A/B tests and personalize messages

Listmonk is really nice. I might as well use it for my own newsletter. How does it fares to mailchimp?

It’s pretty good, not as robust as mailchimp

Great list! I've also found Listmonk to be super helpful for managing newsletters efficiently. On a related note, for anyone looking for a versatile tool that combines multiple developer tasks into one streamlined interface, check out Webacus.dev. It’s a productivity booster for developers, simplifying workflows with ease. Definitely worth adding to your toolkit!
