Developer. Educator. Product builder.
I'm Brad Traversy. I create practical software, educational content, and tools used by developers around the world.
Content and education
YouTube, Traversy Media, and Start.dev each serve a different purpose. They stay connected by the same goal: practical education without the filler.
Free tutorials, project builds, developer commentary, and practical walkthroughs for more than two million subscribers.

Learn on Start.devIndependent software
Developer tools, experiments, open-source projects, and products I build outside of the main education platforms.
A clean reference layer for the syntax, configuration, commands, and patterns developers look up every day. The catalog stays public, dense, and validated against current documentation.
The free API handles reads, writes, pagination, filtering, search, relationships, delays, and failure states. The next product layer is isolated environments with persistent mock data.
A local control panel that shows running dev servers, port conflicts, project ownership, useful URLs, and stale processes.
A collection of focused tools that process code, files, images, text, and data locally in the browser.
Vidpipe taught me where a client-rendered React app stops being fine, and where static HTML needs to take over.
