Building AI Tools Is Easy. Getting Users Isn't. Here's My Solution.

Over the last few days, I built three AI tools for developers:

🐞 Error Explainer
πŸ“ README Generator
🌿 Commit Message Generator

I was excited after building them.

Then I faced a problem that almost every indie developer faces:

Nobody knew they existed.

Each tool had:

A separate website
A separate URL
Separate branding

Every time I shared one, I felt like I was starting from zero.

That's when I realized I wasn't building a productβ€”I was building isolated tools.

So I decided to change my approach.

Instead of maintaining multiple websites, I merged everything into one platform called DevPocket.

The idea is simple:

🐞 Debug β†’ Explain programming errors
πŸ“ Document β†’ Generate project READMEs
🌿 Git β†’ Generate commit messages (and soon PR descriptions)
πŸ›  Utilities β†’ Helpful developer tools like JSON Formatter, JWT Decoder, and more

The goal isn't to build "another AI app."

I want DevPocket to become a place developers can visit whenever they're coding.

This is only Day 1, and there's still a lot to improve, but I'm excited about the direction.

You can check it out here:

I'd genuinely love your feedback.

What developer tool would you find useful?
What's the most annoying part of your development workflow?

I'm building DevPocket in public, and every suggestion will help shape what comes next.

Thanks for reading! πŸš€
