Why DevGlobe?

DevGlobe is a free, open-source platform for developer metrics, insights and time tracking — automatically generated from your coding activity. Every developer lights up a live marker on a worldwide 3D globe while coding, and gets a public profile that showcases their stats, projects and links.

Visibility	Networking	Motivation	Projects
Your own public profile with your GitHub, X, projects and links. A shareable page that shows what you're building.	See who's coding right now and in which language. Click a marker to open a developer's profile and projects.	Track your coding time, streaks and badges. Your stats keep you coming back.	Publish your projects with tech stack and teammates. Get discovered, upvoted and discussed by the community.

Quick Start

1. Sign in on devglobe.app with GitHub, X (Twitter), or Google
2. Copy your API key from the profile settings
3. Install the extension in your IDE and paste the key

That's it — your marker appears on the globe.

The extension sends a heartbeat every 30 seconds while you code. Stop typing for 1 minute and heartbeats pause. After 15 minutes of inactivity, you disappear from the globe.

All extensions read your API key from ~/.devglobe/config.toml and let you toggle local privacy flags (hide_file_names, hide_branch_names, hide_project_names) there. Globe-side visibility (anonymous mode, repo sharing, profile mode) is managed on devglobe.app/dashboard/settings.

Zed

Installation

1. In Zed: Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P → zed: extensions

On first activation, the extension downloads the matching devglobe-core binary for your platform from GitHub Releases (one-time, ~60 MB).

Setup

Create your config file:

mkdir -p ~/.devglobe
cat > ~/.devglobe/config.toml <<'EOF'
api_key = "devglobe_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
EOF

Open a project in Zed, trust the worktree when prompted, and start coding. You'll appear on the globe within 30 seconds.

Manual install (optional)

If you'd rather build from source (e.g. to test a change), clone the standalone repo and install it as a dev extension:

git clone https://github.com/devglobe-xyz/zed-devglobe.git

In Zed: Cmd+Shift+P → "zed: install dev extension" → select the zed-devglobe/ folder.

Requirements
