Why DevGlobe?

DevGlobe is a free, open-source platform that lights up a marker on a 3D globe every time you code. Other developers see you in real time.

Visibility Your GitHub, X, projects and links — visible to every developer on the globe. A showcase for what you're building.

Networking See who's coding right now and in which language. Click a marker to discover a developer and their projects.

Motivation Weekly leaderboard by coding time. Your streak (consecutive coding days) is visible on your profile.

Projects Feature up to 10 projects. The most active ones appear in a carousel visible to all visitors. Link your TrustMRR to display your MRR.

Quick Start

1. Sign in on devglobe.xyz 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 10 minutes of inactivity, you disappear from the globe.

Features

Feature	Description
Live heartbeat	Sends your activity every 30s. Auto-pauses after 1 min of inactivity.
Language detection	Detects 48+ languages from your active editor tab.
Git integration	Detects your repo from the git remote. Commit stats (insertions/deletions) are verified server-side via the GitHub API — never sent by the extension.
Anonymous mode	Hide your exact location — your marker is placed on a random city in your country (from a database of 152,000+ cities worldwide).
Status message	Write what you're working on — visible on your globe profile.
Repo sharing	You decide. Your repo name is never shown unless you explicitly enable this toggle (disabled by default).
Offline recovery	Detects connection loss and automatically resumes when the network is back.
Status bar	Displays your coding time for today (e.g. 2h 15m) in the VS Code status bar.
