Best Developer Tool

GitHub <3 developers and we have a passion for tools. Your challenge is to build a tool for developers. Anything that a developer could use qualifies from a new web framework to a custom programming language or even a way for people to become better developers. It's not necessary, but you could use [Electron](http://electron.atom.io), make a plugin for [Atom](http://atom.io), or even build on top of the world largest development community using the [GitHub API](http://developer.github.com).
