+ Interesting tools

Here are our developer tool picks of the week. Past reviews are available on our website, via API, and MCP. No auth required.

Pele

Mermaid diagram render.

What we like: Renders Mermaid syntax to SVG. Colors and fonts are customizable through CSS. Zero dependencies. Responsive layouts and very fast render times (under 1ms).

What we don't like: Doesn’t support all diagram types or Mermaid plugins.


KiviDB

Redis/Valkey alternative.

What we like: Redis-compatible protocol, including search, vectors, and Lua scripting. Commands run on every core rather than one thread. Claims faster performance than Redis, including better p99 latency. Runs on a different port by default. Written in Rust.

What we don't like: Licensed under AGPL.
