Insights, tips, and stories about collaboration in open source
Beyond the hype of trending GitHub projects: a practical deep-dive into 5 tools that actually improve your daily dev workflow, with collaboration insights that reveal why they're built to last.
Simple changes that help new contributors get started faster and reduce maintainer overhead. Discover the documentation strategies behind thriving open source projects.
collab.dev analyzes 250+ top GitHub repositories to reveal collaboration metrics - from instant feedback to 4-week wait times. See how your project compares to industry standards.
This is the story of how collab.dev went from a hackathon prototype to a living resource used by hundreds of developers and maintainers - and what we learned about measuring what truly matters in open source collaboration.
As AI reshapes software development, traditional DORA metrics need to evolve. collab.dev introduces comprehensive metrics designed for the collaborative nature of modern human-AI development workflows.
For the past decade, DORA metrics have been the gold standard for measuring software delivery performance. But as AI agents take on more of the development work, are these metrics still enough?
AI agents are reshaping how we contribute to open source, moving from manual coding to guiding AI. Explore the challenges, opportunities, and best practices for maintaining the human element in collaborative development.
Traditional DORA metrics miss the mark when it comes to capturing the real impact of software projects and their communities. Collab.dev offers a new way to measure and improve collaboration in open source.
