patent

Semantic prior-art search for dev tool ideas — checks 16 sources before you build something that exists.

Desktopfreeglobal

A desktop app that takes a plain-English developer-tool idea and searches sixteen code and package sources, ranking semantically similar results and summarizing the space as Open, Crowded, or Saturated. It helps developers and open-source maintainers avoid reinventing existing tools by providing a single, self-hosted search across registries, GitHub and developer discussion sites; the project is free and distributed under the Apache-2.0 license.
