AI Dev News Digest (July 24, 2025)

Here's your daily developer tools round‑up for Thursday, July 24th 2025

GitHub takes prompt‑to‑app mainstream with Spark

GitHub’s biggest release this summer is Spark, a tool that turns your scribbled idea into a working web application. Microsoft says Spark ties hosting, code generation, AI services and deployment into a single interface, so there’s no separate environment to configure or domain settings to fight with. → It’s giving “glue everything together with Copilot” energy. Spark is now publicly available to Copilot Pro users and promises end-to-end builds with natural language. Source

Lovable Agent Mode is here—and it actually runs your plan

The whimsical agent-building tool Lovable just got serious: their new Agent Mode can now break down tasks, write code, run tests, summarize pull requests, and fix bugs. Think of it as a baby AutoGPT, but cuter. → It's the first time Lovable is more than just a fancy todo app with LLM vibes. Source

Qwen3-Coder open-sourced by Alibaba

Hot on the heels of Qwen3, Alibaba just dropped Qwen3-Coder—a 14B parameter model tuned for code reasoning, debugging, and deep codebase work. It’s licensed under Apache 2.0, and trained with an “agentic coding” use case in mind. → Available on HuggingFace and ModelScope. Source

Trickle Magic Canvas wants to replace Webflow (again)

Trickle is back with a WYSIWYG AI web builder that lets you generate full sites, forms, and apps using a “Magic Canvas.” The builder uses AI blocks and section-based editing similar to Framer, but adds LLM assist for form logic and content tweaks. → #1 on ProductHunt today. Still early, but feels smoother than most GenAI site builders. Source

TurboStyle: Chrome DevTools, but on your site

TurboStyle is a new Chrome extension that lets you live-edit any site visually and export the clean CSS. Think DevTools + Figma vibes. → Targeted more toward frontend devs who hate bouncing between tabs or inspecting deeply nested DOMs. Source

JetBrains Rider 2025.2 RC ships with built-in MCP server support

JetBrains just dropped release candidates for Rider 2025.2 and ReSharper 2025.2. The headline? A built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets you plug LLMs into your dev workflow for test generation, code review, and refactoring. Other new Rider features include OpenTelemetry support, enhanced UI for debugging async flows, and stability fixes. → MCP is turning into a real thing. First Claude Code, now JetBrains. Source

Database Workbench 6.7.0 now free (lite)

Upscene released a free (for non-commercial use) version of Database Workbench Lite 6.7.0, supporting Firebird and MySQL. Comes with basic tools for schema design, test data gen, and query building. → Good for local DB testing or training environments. Not open source though. Source

Google quietly launches MCP server for analytics

Tucked into a low-profile post, Google announced an experimental MCP server for integrating LLMs with Google Analytics data. The idea: your AI can now ask, “Why did my conversions drop last week?” and get a scoped, segmented, chart-ready answer. → Still super early, but it’s one of the more useful cases for local context agents.
