status: ACTIVE
sponsored_content: FALSE
affiliate_links: FALSE
bias: NONE

#What We Do

We find tools. We test tools. We document tools.

No hype. No "game-changing" buzzwords. No sponsored placements disguised as reviews.

Every tool in our index has been evaluated on one criteria: does it actually work?

#Methodology

01
Discovery — We scan Product Hunt, GitHub, Hacker News, and direct submissions.
02
Verification — We actually use the tool. Novel concept.
03
Documentation — We write what we found. Good and bad.
04
Indexing — If it passes, it gets listed. If not, it doesn't.

#What We Don't Do

  • ✗Accept payment for listings
  • ✗Use affiliate links
  • ✗Write "sponsored" reviews
  • ✗Rank based on who pays more
  • ✗Pretend bad tools are good
