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.
VisibilityYour GitHub, X, projects and links — visible to every developer on the globe. A showcase for what you're building. | NetworkingSee who's coding right now and in which language. Click a marker to discover a developer and their projects. | MotivationWeekly leaderboard by coding time. Your streak (consecutive coding days) is visible on your profile. | ProjectsFeature 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. |
