Questions answered

Tool database questions answered

How should I filter the tool database?

Use category and intent first, then read the best-for and skip-if notes. A high score is useful only when the tool matches the job you are trying to finish.

Why are some tools editorial while others are referral or affiliate?

The label reflects the current link route. Editorial links go to official sites, referral links use configured referral URLs, and affiliate links are used only after a program or tracked URL is verified.

What should I do after picking a tool?

Open its detail page, compare it against a close alternative, then choose a stack recipe so hosting, MCP, and gear decisions do not happen in isolation.
