daily.dev vs Async.dev

daily.dev is where developers keep up with what's happening in tech. It pulls posts from 2,000+ blogs, newsletters and YouTube channels, and puts the ones developers are actually reading and upvoting into one feed, tuned to the tags you follow. Lately that's a lot of AI: what changed in Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, new models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, AI agents, MCP, local LLMs with Ollama, and whatever vibe coding means this week. But it's just as much the rest of the job: open source, Linux, self-hosting, security, Rust, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, system design, game dev and career advice. Plus what shipped at GitHub, AWS, Cloudflare, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Vercel, the occasional outage postmortem, and memes. HOW IT WORKS • Your feed starts from your stack and adjusts as you read • Every post has a TLDR, so you can skim first and open what's worth it • Popular, Most Upvoted and Best Discussions show what everyone else is reading • Happening Now is a quick read of today's headlines as they break • Articles open on a reading screen inside the app, with the comments one swipe away • Why am I seeing this? on any For You post shows what put it in your feed, so you can tune it • Topic chips above the feed jump straight to AI, web dev, DevOps and more • Hide tags, sources or whole formats (memes, listicles, opinion pieces) you don't care about • Search posts, tags, sources, people and Squads THE COMMUNITY PART • Comments under every post, often more useful than the article • Squads: public or private groups around a language, a framework, a company or your team • Messages, polls, posting your own links, and upvotes that decide what rises • A profile with your stack, your experience and a DevCard you can share • Reputation, achievements, quests, leaderboards and a reading streak, if you're into that • Awards and Cores if you want to tip someone for a great post SAVE IT FOR LATER • Bookmarks and Read it later with reminders, synced with the web app and the browser extension • Reading history, for the article you skimmed on Tuesday and can't find • Best-of archives by month and year for any topic • The same account on the web, and in the Chrome and Edge extension that turns every new tab into your feed • Dark or light mode, list or grid, a different app icon, and notifications only for what you pick FOR YOUR AGENTS daily.dev has a public API and an MCP server. Hook it up to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code and your agent can search what developers are reading, pull your feed and save bookmarks. There's a plugin marketplace too. BRIEFINGS Your first Presidential Briefing is free: a 3 to 5 minute AI summary of what changed in your corner of tech, split into must know, good to know and the critical take. daily.dev Plus Optional. Plus adds: • Unlimited and scheduled briefings, in the app, by email or in Slack • Clickbait Shield on every feed, which rewrites misleading titles so they say what the post is about • Advanced custom feeds and keyword filters • Bookmark folders and notes • Titles and TLDRs auto-translated into 10 languages • No ads, and higher API limits daily.dev is free and open source, built in public at github.com/dailydotdev.

Build Async. Talk to your projects to fix bugs, tweak UIs, and implement features (e.g., "hey Async, can you fix the landing page for me?"). Async lets you issue tasks, create plans, and review code all in one place.
