The AI tools worth your time. One email a week.

The tools, reads, and big-lab releases that actually matter — each with a one-line verdict from an indie dev who ships real software — not another 50-link dump.

What you'll get — straight from issue #2

Star of the week
strix agents open source

Open-source AI pentesting agent — 37K stars — that probes your app for vulnerabilities before someone else does.

Attackers automated first; this is the cheapest way to make sure your side is automated too.

herdr agents open source

Agent multiplexer for your terminal — run and juggle several AI agents in parallel (12K stars).

If you run more than one agent, tab chaos is real — this is tmux energy for the agent era.

design.md coding open source

Google's format spec for describing visual identity and design rules to AI coding agents.

Your agent stops guessing your brand colours — it's a README for taste, and it's about time.

orca agents open source

Desktop environment for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel, on your own subscriptions.

herdr with a GUI — when the same idea trends twice in one week, the pattern is the story.
