Golden Kitty Awards - Best developer tools launched in 2024?

As we're approaching the long-awaited Golden Kitty Awards, I'm dropping here some of my favorite developer tools launched on Product Hunt in 2024:

@Supabase - The open-source Firebase alternative went GA last April and had a *stellar* launch: #1 Product of the Day, #1 Product of the Week, #1 Product of the Month!
@bolt.new - Last year, @v0 by Vercel was nominee, and I predict the alternative built by StackBlitz, #1 Product of the Day, #2 Product of the Week, and #9 Product of the Month, hit the list this year
@Langfuse 2.0 - The open-source LLM engineering platform, best AI Infra Product of the Year in 2023, had another amazing launch this year: #1 Product of the Day, #8 Product of the Week.
@Helicone AI - The open-source LLM observability platform had a great launch last August: #1 Product of the Day, #2 Product of the Week.
@Tempo - Discovered during the Mega Launch Week, this code-first Figma alternative kept momentum on Product Hunt last December: #1 Product of the Day, #3 Product of the Week.

I could possibly think of more developer tools that ranked really well: @Octomind (#1 Product of the Day), @Pullpo.io (#2 Product of the Day), @Inkeep (#3 Product of the Day), @Corbado (#4 Product of the Day), @MotherDuck (#5 Product of the Day)...

How about you? What are your predictions for this 2025 GKA edition?

Langfuse

Thanks for the mention @fmerian! Really love this community of builders that means so much for us at Langfuse. Last year we launched Langfuse 2.0 but also a completely rearchitected backend which was really important for the long-term scalability and maturity of the product.

@marc_klingen keep up your great work, Marc!

Hey there! For 2024, I think AI-powered IDEs will be huge. Tools like GitHub Copilot are getting smarter and more intuitive. Cloud-based dev environments will also gain traction - they're so convenient for remote work. And don't forget about low-code platforms; they're making development accessible to more people. Just my two cents!
