Launch of DevGlobe: an open-source platform for developers

Hello! 👋

We just launched DevGlobe, a free and open-source project.

The idea is simple: Strava turned solo running into a shared experience by mapping every athlete’s activity. We wanted the same thing for coding. You write code, you light up the globe.

While you code, you appear live on a 3D globe so you can:

- See other devs coding in real time around the world (the social feed, but for keystrokes)
- Track full stats per repo, file, branch, and language (your activity history)
- Compete on private leaderboards with friends or your team (segments and clubs)
- Browse a directory of public projects with comments and upvotes (routes you can discover and bookmark)
- Build a public dev profile like [devglobe.app/developers/nako00](https://devglobe.app/developers/nako00) (your athlete page), unlock badges, and hit weekly goals

Privacy first, because tracking shouldn’t feel creepy:

- Anonymous (default): random city inside your country
- Standard: city only
- Private: completely off the globe (if you just want your stats)

100% free, 100% open source (MIT). Your code never leaves your machine, only aggregated metadata is sent. WakaTime-compatible endpoint if you’re migrating.

Works in 26+ editors: VS Code and its forks, JetBrains, NeoVim, Zed, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and more.

Built with:

The globe runs on [MapLibre GL JS ](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js)(open-source(open-source) map rendering) with basemap styles from [CARTO](https://github.com/CartoDB/basemap-styles), dark theme, vector tiles, smooth 3D globe projection. The frontend is Next.js + React + TypeScript, and real-time updates come through Supabase Realtime (Postgres changes stream). No polling, no refresh, when someone starts coding, their marker appears instantly.
