StackPicks.dev's answer:
Indie developers and AI builders Solo founders and small startup teams Affiliate marketers connecting ad platforms to Claude (For that last one โ if a field requires real company names, just leave it empty. Never invent customers; SaaSHub and AI crawlers penalize fabricated claims, and it can bite you later. "Early-stage, used by indie builders" is the honest + safe answer.)
StackPicks.dev's answer:
StackPicks combines two things nobody else bundles: a curated directory of 165+ open-source dev tools with honest "use this / skip this" takes, AND a unified MCP gateway that connects 800+ apps to AI agents through one OAuth link. Most directories just list star counts; most MCP tools are developer-only and bill per call. StackPicks gives you both โ opinionated curation plus consumer-grade Claude integration โ for a one-time $2.99 lifetime fee, no subscription.
StackPicks.dev's answer:
Composio and Pipedream are powerful but built for developers and priced per usage. StackPicks Connect is consumer-grade: paste one URL into Claude, log in through your browser, and every connected app works โ no API keys, no per-call billing. It's bundled into a one-time lifetime plan instead of a meter. For solo builders, indie hackers, and small teams who just want their AI agent to use their apps, it's the simplest and cheapest path.
StackPicks.dev's answer:
Solo developers, indie hackers, AI builders, and small startup teams โ people who use Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT daily and want their AI agent to actually do things across GitHub, Gmail, Slack, Notion, and their ad platforms. Also marketers and growth folks who want to pull ad-platform data (Meta Ads, Google Ads) into Claude. India-first pricing via Razorpay, but used globally.
StackPicks.dev's answer:
StackPicks started as a curated directory of open-source dev tools โ the differentiator being honest curator takes instead of raw GitHub star counts. As MCP (Model Context Protocol) took off in 2025-26, it became clear that connecting apps to AI agents was painful: one MCP server per app, a wall of config, API keys everywhere. So we built StackPicks Connect โ a unified gateway that connects 800+ apps to Claude and Cursor through a single OAuth link. Built solo by Piyush Jangir.
StackPicks.dev's answer:
Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres + Auth), Razorpay for payments, Nango for OAuth, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for the AI-agent gateway. Hosted on Railway.

Visual Studio Code, a code editor created by Microsoft, was first introduced on April 29, 2015, at the Build conference. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago
The step up from there is an editor with a built-in agent like Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, or VS Code with a coding extension. These are code editors with an AI agent living inside them, and the difference is the responsible party for getting things from place to place. Instead of the software creator shuttling code between windows, the AI agent edits the project files directly and runs the GitHub and... - Source: dev.to / 26 days ago
For IDE-heavy teams, BYOK (bring your own key) can be interesting, no matter whether you live in WebStorm or VS Code. On the JetBrains side, the JetBrains AI plans and Junie BYOK docs allow it, and most VS Code AI extensions offer the same idea: keep the IDE, connect provider keys, pay the provider. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
Option 1: Raw editing in IDE. You open the .md file in VS Code or whatever you use. Syntax highlighting shows you the structure. Maybe you toggle a preview pane. This works for quick edits but becomes painful for anything involving tables, diagrams, or complex formatting. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
You'll need Python 3.8+ and pip for the quickstart, with venv recommended for isolation. Install the requests library for HTTP calls. VS Code with the Python extension works well as an editor, though PyCharm or Sublime Text work equally well. You'll also need a free Foxit developer account. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
Sublime Text - Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, html and prose - any kind of text file. You'll love the slick user interface and extraordinary features. Fully customizable with macros, and syntax highlighting for most major languages.
