## Featured 

> Why are some tools featured? 

It's simple. We're at 200+ tools, and a lot of them are similar. To break the homogeneity, I flag the unique ones to the top. This is biased since "what is uniqueness?" and I simply define that as a tool that is different from the other ones. Whether it's outstanding quality, or simply a very unique idea.
