AI Hardware: Oura takes the crown for the Oura Ring 4
Hardware had an interesting year, it felt like as techies we all reached a consensus that design must be appreciated however in that pursuit we might have gotten to close to the form over function. We've seen that over time, as hardware iterates and software updates it does improve and that's what Oura Ring proves this year. Maybe in 2026 we'll see more friends on the street with updated hard + software.

Developer Tools: Supabase is turning complex infra into plug and play
2024 was a game-changer for developers. Non-engineers are now building like devs, 1x engineers are 10x, and 10x engineers? Practically unstoppable. This year’s Developer Tools award winner, Supabase, played a huge role in that shift. Need a backend? Done. Authentication? Handled. Real-time databases? Built-in. Supabase turned what used to be complex infrastructure into a plug-and-play experience.

Product of the Year: Cursor takes the crown
This was the year of the developer. As our CTO Mike put it, “we no longer program—we just give feedback to an eager, fast, and loose intern” in the era of AI. The Product of the Year reflects that shift. Each finalist turbocharged builders in different ways. O1 led the charge, giving developers superpowers. Supabase became the go-to database for top builders while setting the standard for launches with its Launch Week, going head-to-head with Cal.com. But Cursor takes the cake as the most shouted-out dev tool in our stack.
