Forge Craft is a network where Rift Valley builders meet, share work, research new tools, ship open source, host events, and build useful products in public.
A WhatsApp-first network of 800+ engineers, designers, founders, product, growth, and marketing people building across Rift Valley.
Code Brews, hackathons, product launches, workshops, and partner activations that bring serious builders into the same room.
Forge Research studies AI-first engineering, agents, developer experience, and the new workflows shaping how teams ship.
We build in public and release tools developers actually use, from design systems to AI-native writing and codebase search.
Community infrastructure, open-source tools, research projects, writing surfaces, design systems, and code search products built in public.
