About Sidi Jeddou

Sidi Jeddou is a Mauritanian developer and founder best known for building DevHunt, an open-source launchpad for developer tools, and Float UI, an open-source library of Tailwind CSS components. He also makes the form builder RapidForms and the AI tool builder Wrapifai.

A front-end developer who previously freelanced, Jeddou combines coding with growth and SEO work. Much of his work has been done at MarsX, John Rush's startup, where his projects live in the MarsX portfolio and GitHub organisation.

He first became known for Float UI, a collection of responsive Tailwind CSS components and templates for React that has passed 3,500 GitHub stars. In 2023 he built DevHunt, a launch platform for dev tools where listings are submitted as GitHub pull requests and votes come from GitHub logins. It has grown into a developer-focused alternative to Product Hunt with more than 30,000 users.

On Christmas Day 2023 he started RapidForms, a form builder for small businesses that competes on data privacy, deep design customisation and lower prices than subscription-heavy rivals. He pre-sold four customers before launching it on 9 February 2024, and by October 2024 it had around 1,000 users and more than 20 paying customers, with early traction coming from candid Reddit and DEV posts and launches on Product Hunt and DevHunt. He was 21 at the time.

His newer projects include Wrapifai, a no-code builder that lets marketers and SEO practitioners create embeddable AI tools for lead generation, and next-to-tanstack, an open-source CLI released in October 2025 that migrates Next.js apps to TanStack Start.
