Hey, I'm Hiten
I'm a frontend developer who's been building with React, TypeScript, and an ever-changing roster of build tools for years. DevToolbox is where I write about the tools, frameworks, and workflows that actually make a difference to developer productivity.
What You'll Find Here
- Build tool benchmarks — Vite vs Turbopack vs Rspack, tested on real projects with actual numbers
- Framework deep-dives — React Server Components, Next.js patterns, and things the docs don't tell you
- Developer workflow — linters, formatters, CI/CD setups, and the CLI tools worth adopting
- Honest opinions — I'll tell you what's worth learning and what's hype
The Stack Behind This Blog
DevToolbox itself runs on a self-hosted stack that I think most developers would appreciate:
- Ghost on a Synology NAS — no cloud hosting bills
- n8n automating the entire content pipeline — from topic planning to publishing to social media
- Claude AI assisting with content generation, with heavy human editing
- Cloudflare for DNS and CDN
- Forgejo for self-hosted Git and CI/CD
Yes, I automated my blog's SEO feedback loop too. The Search Console Monitor workflow analyses performance monthly, suggests data-driven topics, and adds them to the editorial calendar automatically. Developers automating everything — who'd have thought.
