Chime turns your meetings and reminders into full-screen alerts you can’t brush off. It pulls from your calendars and tasks, grabs meeting links, and cuts through deep-focus mode so you don’t look up and realize the thing you cared about started twenty minutes ago.

🔥 Our Take: The only alarms that ever work are the ones that get right in your face. Meeting reminders should do the same. Most of us don’t miss things because we’re careless, we miss them because banners disappear while we’re locked in. A full-screen alert is extreme, but it’s the first thing that actually solves the problem.

fmerian kicked off a thread with a simple question: which developer tools are actually beautifully crafted? Not just useful, crafted. He points to the usual suspects like Linear, Resend, Stripe, Supabase, Zed, Dimension and Vercel’s v0 as examples of teams that treat design as a first principle instead of an afterthought.

Now he’s asking the community to add the ones they think deserve to be in that same conversation. If you’ve got a dev tool you secretly admire for looking and feeling better than it needs to, this is your chance to shout it out.

Globe of History lets you spin a 3D globe and see where major events actually happened across thousands of years. Wars, inventions, discoveries, rulers, collapses, all plotted on the map with a timeline you can drag through. You can jump between eras, filter topics, zoom in, and follow how the world shifted in whatever period you care about.

🔥 Our Take: Reading history in a straight line never gives you the full picture. Seeing it on a globe makes everything click instantly. It’s the kind of tool that turns “I should learn more about this” into “oh, now I get how these things connected.”

Comet for Android brings an actual assistant into your mobile browsing. Open a page, ask something, get a summary, clean up your tabs, pull research, whatever — and it all happens right inside the browser. No app-hopping. No juggling. Just a browser that actually does some of the work for you.

🔥 Our Take: Mobile browsing turns into chaos fast. You start with one tab and end up in a maze you definitely didn’t plan for. Comet stepping in to handle the extra tasks while you keep moving is the rare update that genuinely fixes that mess.
