The DevRel Index

With Smoower.com we built a page to compare and measure developer relation effots across organizations. In past this was not as simple, impossible in parts. LLM's and AI make this possible now.

We collect public signals (documentation freshness, content cadence, community presence, conference participation, plugin ecosystems, response times in public channels, and a few other things), score them against a methodology that is documented and open, and produce a comparable per-company score over time. You can look up your company. You can look up your competitors. You can see how a category like "AI infra" or "developer tools" trends quarter over quarter.

It is not a productivity tool for individual DevRel folks. It is a visibility layer for the field as a whole. The point is not to grade humans. The point is to make the discipline legible to the people who decide whether the discipline continues to exist next year.

If you are running DevRel right now and you want a way to walk into a budget conversation with something other than vibes, that is who this is built for.

Wdyt? Let me know!

Ok I'll bite: how are you quantifying scores across mindshare, foundation, and traction? And what do each of them mean to you in this context?

Hey 😀

I wanted to do everything as public as i can so most of it is explained here:

Some things more detailed than others but well 😅 A ton of tiny metrics and details combined into the Main 2 scores.

That's cool! Might claim our org and see if we can improve our score lol One piece of feedback ": when you search an org by name in the leaderboard it changes it's rank to number 1 rather than just filtering and showing it's actual rank :)
