Why I built it

The answer should take seconds.

I look up the same things constantly: Tailwind utility names, Prisma schema syntax, Docker Compose keys, TypeScript utility types, and Git commands.

Most cheat sheet sites are stale, crowded with ads, or left untouched for years. DevSheets is the version I wanted: dense, current, easy to scan, and open without an account wall.

Item-level search

Jump directly to a matching command or pattern, not just the sheet that contains it.

83+ validated sheets

The catalog is checked against current official documentation and versioned when useful.

Favorites and progress

Save useful sheets and track the items you already know across the catalog.

Public by default

The complete reference experience works without an account, a subscription, or ads.

Inside the product

Built to scan, search, and move on.

Each sheet keeps the useful material close together with concise explanations, copyable code, clear sections, and practical examples.

How it is built

Content with a validation loop.

Sheet content lives in Postgres so it can be edited, validated, and synced without rebuilding the site. Stable item IDs keep favorites and known-item progress intact through content updates.
