Smoower is building a ranking of developer-facing orgs that you can actually argue with. The list below is what's already live, what's in flight, and what's coming. Dates are real targets, not aspirational slides.
A public ranking of developer-facing orgs scored across pillars like Code, Community, Reach, and Trust. Every org has a report page with the underlying signals exposed, so the score is something you can argue with, not a black box.
A running stream of what changed across the index, with weekly leaders per pillar. Useful if you want to track who's actually moving and on what dimension, instead of staring at static leaderboards.
The whole index is queryable. The MCP server at /api/mcp exposes the read tools, and /api/v1 has the same data over plain REST. Plug it into Claude, Cursor, or your own internal tools and ask questions about the data directly.
An opinionated planner for org members. It reads the report, picks the pillars that are underweight, generates concrete tasks with verification, and tracks whether the work actually moved the needle. Currently gated to org members, with rescans and verification reserved for active supporters.
The index crossed 1,000 orgs on May 27, 2026. Each one has a full report, satellite mapping, and a pillar score rebuilt weekly. The number itself is less important than the coverage. Most developer-facing orgs of any real scale are now in the index, and the scoring has kept up with the growth.
More pillar-specific playbooks (Docs, Community, Releases, Showcase) with verification that actually checks the artifact, not just a checkbox. The goal is that finishing a Coach task visibly moves the corresponding pillar score within a week or two.
More signals feeding the score (release cadence, doc freshness, contributor diversity, response times) and a clearer breakdown of how each pillar number is built. Less mystery, more receipts.
Pick the orgs you want to hear about and get a fully personalized feed of their blog posts and YouTube uploads. No algorithmic curation, no engagement optimization, no surprises. Just the sources you chose, in chronological order, exactly the way you asked for them.
An opt-in bot that companies add to their own Discord. It tracks activity volume, response times, sentiment on key channels, and how much of the conversation is staff vs community. Those signals feed the Community and Reach pillars, so a healthy Discord visibly shows up in the ranking instead of being invisible to it.
A new monthly format launching in August 2026. Each episode spotlights someone from the index, walks through what their team is building, and talks through the actual work behind their ranking. The idea is to make the index less of a leaderboard and more of a map to real people doing real DevRel work. Episodes will be published on the site and syndicated to the usual channels.
Scoring should be auditable, not a thing people have to trust. The plan is to put the index, the scoring logic, the collectors, and the Coach playbooks in public repos under a permissive license. If someone disagrees with how a pillar is weighted, they can read the code, file an issue, or fork it.
