What is daily?

What it is

daily.dev is a free, open-source personalized news feed and community for software developers. It lives in the JavaScript ecosystem and is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The project aggregates articles, tutorials, release notes, and news from more than 2,000 trusted sources across the web, then personalizes the resulting feed according to the tags a reader follows — such as #webdev, #ai, or #devops — and according to what that reader has already engaged with. It is delivered as a new tab browser extension for Chrome and Edge, as a web app, and as mobile apps for iOS and Android, with a PWA among its listed topics. The repository itself is the central hub for the project, while the frontend applications, meaning the extension and the web app, live in the separate dailydotdev/apps repository.

The concrete problem it solves is the effort of keeping up with developer content scattered across many sites. Rather than visiting a dozen publications, newsletters, and aggregators, a developer opens a new tab and sees a single feed already tuned to their stack. Beyond reading, daily.dev provides Squads for sharing and discussing content with a team or with people of similar interests, comment threads on posts, bookmarks and a reading list for saving items for later, and search that spans posts, tags, sources, and discussions across the network. Its topics list it as a hacker-news-alternative and a news-feed-aggregator, which places it in the same niche as general tech aggregators while aiming at a developer-specific audience.

Key capabilities

  • Personalized feed drawn from 2,000+ sources and tuned by followed tags and reading activity.
  • New tab browser extension for Chrome and Edge that replaces the new tab page with the developer feed.
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android carrying the same feed and community.
  • Squads, which are developer communities for sharing and discussing content with a team or with people who share interests.
  • Discussions and comments on posts, so readers can see how other developers think about an item.
  • Bookmarks and a reading list for saving posts to read later across devices.
  • Search across posts, tags, sources, and discussions in the network.

Who uses it and how

  • Developers who want a single new tab page that surfaces relevant articles instead of a blank tab or a generic start page.
  • Teams and interest groups that form Squads to share and discuss content internally or around a shared topic.
  • Readers who follow specific tags such as #webdev, #ai, or #devops to keep the feed aligned with their stack.
  • Mobile users who want the same feed and community on iOS and Android rather than only at a desk.
  • People who

📯 Philosophy

We recognize that developers today have the greatest power as a professional group to drive change and affect the lives of billions. Many platforms provide developers with tools that serve their success or the goals of their workplace, but daily.dev is by design for developers themselves.

We, as developers, know how challenging it is to grow professionally with so much going on, and that's why we built daily.dev: to make it easy for us to navigate the abundant content out there and discover all the knowledge we need with zero effort.

You can use daily.dev to:

  • 👨‍💻 Learn and stay up-to-date

  • 🙌 Interact based on the latest trends in our ecosystem

❓ FAQ

Is daily.dev free?
Yes. The core daily.dev experience (the personalized feed, extension, mobile apps, Squads, bookmarks, and search) is free. There is an optional paid subscription, daily.dev Plus, that adds power features on top.
Is daily.dev open source?
Yes. daily.dev is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. This repository is the central hub, and the frontend applications (extension and web app) live in dailydotdev/apps.
What are we doing to ensure daily.dev is safe?
The browser extension only replaces your new tab page. It never tracks your browsing on other websites, never reads or modifies content on other pages, never accesses your browsing history, and never injects scripts into any website. It requests only the permissions it needs, and because daily.dev is fully open source, you can verify all of this in the code yourself. Your data is never sold.
How does daily.dev make money?
daily.dev is an ad-supported business. The feed includes clearly marked native ads from developer-relevant brands, which is what keeps daily.dev free for the community. If you want to reach developers on daily.dev, see business.daily.dev.
Which platforms does daily.dev support?
Browser extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, a web app at daily.dev, and native mobile apps for iOS and Android.
How does the feed personalization work?
You pick the tags and sources you care about (for example #react, #kubernetes, #ai), and the feed learns from what you read, upvote, and bookmark. You stay in control: you can follow or block tags and sources at any time, and switch between personalized and popular feeds.
How is daily.dev different from dev.to or Hacker News?
They solve different problems. dev.to is a blogging community where most content is written on the platform itself. Hacker News is a single shared ranked list of tech and startup links, the same for everyone. daily.dev aggregates developer content from 2,000+ sources across the web and personalizes the feed to your stack, with communities (Squads) built around it. Many developers use daily.dev alongside these platforms.
