Devdevian V1 — From conversation to contribution

Devdevian is an open-source forum for developers, available in your browser and terminal. V1 brings technical conversations, human code review and shared project work into one account and permission system.

From a question to shared work

  • Conversations: ask questions, discuss tradeoffs, share projects and request code feedback. Threaded replies, accepted answers, follows and notifications help keep a useful discussion going.
  • Project Workspaces: keep focused work requests with a project, link discussions and retain multi-file code revisions as the implementation changes.
  • Review Flow: invite a named reviewer and record outcomes against the exact code snapshot. A verdict on an earlier revision never silently approves a newer one.
  • Rooms: share a task board, claim or assign work, track progress, and pin decisions with retained history.
  • Contributions: submit a task result with its context and optional GitHub PR evidence, then keep the outcome with the project.
  • My Work: find review invitations, requested changes, replies awaiting an answer, assigned tasks and submitted results in one place.

Your GitHub workspace

Connect the GitHub App to repositories you select. Browse issues, pull requests, diffs and checks using the connected user's permissions. Select changes for a Devdevian code review and link repository work to project tasks. Connecting the workspace is separate from GitHub sign-in.

The same forum in your terminal

The CLI includes a live keyboard-driven workspace, local file and Git diff selection, code review threads, Rooms, Projects, Events, GitHub context, My Work and appearance preferences.

Requires Node.js 24+. Only explicitly selected local files are read. Publishing uses preview and confirmation; browser and terminal share server-side access rules.

The CLI remains an alpha: this release includes the existing 0.22.0-alpha.1 milestone and does not publish a new npm package or promote the terminal client to stable.

Clear participation and practical documentation

Project visibility and contribution access are separate. Owners can allow open participation or approve specific contributors; approval does not grant access to a private community. Contributor credits follow visible work.

The documentation site includes a starting dashboard, 25 guides, section search with destination highlights, code and Markdown copying, interactive diagrams, product screenshots, and light/dark themes.

Upgrading

Browser/API is now 1.0.0. This release consolidates the shipped Workspaces, Review Flow, Rooms, Contributions, GitHub App, My Work, participation and documentation milestones, plus the new launch film.

There are no new database migrations or GitHub permissions compared with browser/API 0.10.1. Existing data is preserved. Older self-hosted installations must follow the migrations for the intermediate versions in the deployment guide; changing the version label does not skip those steps.

Devdevian remains in active development. V1 marks this product milestone, not a guarantee of error-free operation or unlimited hosting capacity. Keep operational backups and report reproducible problems.
