An open-source platform to showcase GitHub repositories, publish developer blogs, and boost discoverability through SEO-optimized project pages, sitemaps, and llms.txt — built for developers who want their work indexed, linked, and shared.
Developer Hub is an open-source platform for developer visibility. It syncs GitHub repositories into rich, crawlable documentation pages and gives registered users a dashboard to submit blogs, link external repos, and share suggestions — all moderated through an admin approval workflow.
Whether you are publishing SDK docs, listing community projects, or growing organic traffic to your GitHub profile, Developer Hub handles the SEO layer so your repositories and writing get found.
