devRant is the app for developers who like to complain (aka, all of them)

Ngoc Huynh

Developers, known as a curmudgeonly bunch, typically take to mediums like Twitter to vent. The problem is that non-developers also use Twitter, and most of what is said goes sailing over their head — but devRant is specifically for developers.

The app is a bit like YikYak in that it’s as anonymous as you’d like it to be (you choose a username, which could be your real name if you’re inclined). Once you’re signed up, it’s as simple as doing what you do anyway: bitching about everything. You can use memes, GIFs or share links in addition to text.

Other developers can vote your post up or down, and comment. As you can see from the screenshots below, it’s mostly developers complaining about life in general… and it’s awesome.

But it’s not all fun and games. There are also serious discussions, or people looking for a bit of advice on things like motivation.

devRant is available for both iOS and Android, and is completely free (but feel free to complain about app monetization once you sign up). If you’d rather complain from your desk, there’s a Web version, too.
