Editorial note
Rankings and recommendations are opinionated summaries — always cross-check pricing, terms, and data handling before adopting a tool. If you run ads, keep substantial original copy near ad units and link to a clear privacy policy (see footer).
About this site
Same idea as up top: links out to labs and docs I bother to read, plus tool tiles sorted by chat / image / video / code / audio / search — nothing proprietary, just faster than digging through bookmarks.
Longer write-ups might appear later; for now this page is the shelf. When something reads like news or a ranking, I try to keep the date and source obvious — fewer headaches for everyone.
