Local-first developer tools for Windows, Python, code analysis, API discovery, and Codex maintenance.
dev-bricks builds small, practical tools for software-development workflows: editing code, analyzing projects, probing owned APIs, and keeping local developer workspaces understandable without depending on heavy cloud platforms.
| Need | Project |
|---|---|
| Developer dashboard for local projects and build workflows | DevCenter |
| Desktop code editor with LSP diagnostics and terminal support | CodeBox |
| Lightweight Python IDE with debugger, linting, and Git status | pythonbox |
| Passive REST API discovery for owned or authorized services | apiprober |
| Static Python analysis for imports, dead definitions, and similar blocks | MethodenAnalyser |
| Local maintenance tray and CLI for OpenAI Codex Desktop | CareCenter-for-Codex |
| Family | Repositories | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop IDEs | DevCenter, CodeBox, pythonbox | Local PySide6 developer interfaces for editing, debugging, project navigation, and build workflows |
| Analysis and discovery | MethodenAnalyser, apiprober | Static code inspection and passive API documentation for authorized systems |
| Agent tooling | CareCenter-for-Codex | Local repair, cleanup, and operational support for Codex Desktop environments |
- Local first: project data, analysis results, and editor state stay on the user's machine by default.
- Small tools over platforms: each repository targets a concrete workflow instead of replacing an entire development stack.
- Windows pragmatism: desktop apps prioritize reliable local execution, predictable packaging, and low setup overhead.
- Clear boundaries: security-adjacent tools such as API discovery are documented for owned or explicitly authorized services.
- Readable automation: scripts, tests, and exports are kept understandable for both humans and LLM-assisted maintenance.
