Developer Experience Audit
Share your docs, getting-started flow, CLI help or error messages and Seba audits the developer experience — scoring each dimension and returning a DX scorecard with the gap to a 10 and the fix. It reviews what you share; it doesn’t change it. Billed per run.
A scorecard with the gap to a 10, not vibes
Scored against first principles
Every dimension is rated 0–10 against zero-friction onboarding, error empathy, escape hatches and pit-of-success defaults — the laws great DX traces back to.
The gap method on every score
For each score Seba says what a 10 looks like for your product specifically, so the fix is a target you can build toward, not a vague grade.
Time to hello world, measured
Seba walks the getting-started flow you share and estimates how long a new developer needs to first value — the metric that decides adoption.
Just share what you have
Docs, a quickstart, CLI help text, error messages. Paste them or send a public URL in Telegram and the scorecard comes back as a file, billed per run.
What the DX audit scores
The same dimensions a DX engineer dogfooding your product would test.
- Getting started — friction at T0, time to hello world, signup walls
- API / CLI / SDK ergonomics — help text, flag design, naming consistency
- Error messages — does each one give the problem, the cause and the fix
- Documentation — searchability, copy-paste-complete examples, structure
- Upgrade path — changelog clarity, migration guides, deprecation warnings
- Developer environment — setup steps, prerequisites, platform coverage
- Progressive disclosure — simple case production-ready, complex case same API

- +Benchmarking your DX against a category leader
Frequently asked questions
What does the DX audit cover?+
Getting started and time to hello world, API/CLI/SDK ergonomics, error messages, documentation, upgrade path, developer environment and progressive disclosure — each scored 0–10 with the gap to a 10.
Does Seba fix the DX for me?+
No. Seba returns a scorecard with prioritized fixes. You or your team apply them. Seba reviews what you share and does not change your docs, CLI or code.
What does Seba audit from?+
What you share — pasted docs, quickstart, CLI help, error messages — or a public docs/product URL. It can’t test flows behind a login or your local CLI install.
How is time to hello world estimated?+
Seba walks the getting-started steps you provide and estimates how long a new developer needs to reach first value, flagging each high-friction step.
What format is the scorecard?+
A structured report file with a score and fix per dimension. Ask for a checklist or a one-page summary and Seba formats it that way.
How much does it cost?+
You spend credits per run, and Seba shows the exact cost before it starts. Start free with welcome credits; credits never expire.
