Show HN: Do you need this “Yelp for Builder Tools”?
hackertoolbox.comIt would be useful if hackers here can leave some reviews on http://hackertoolbox.com.
Hacker news is a great community for discussion, but how do the discussions[1] help people decide which tools they should consider? I doubt it's usefulness. How many times do you see people asking suggestions on which domain registrar is the best[2]? Today do you check Yelp before going to a new restaurant or asking that somewhere? I check what the top restaurants in the area and what the top dishes/food they provide. I buy products on Amazon after reading the reviews and feel uncomfortable to buy products with zero review and rating.
HackerToolbox wants to persist the great discussions/reviews and makes that for future use.

I'm not sure that the "Yelp for Builder Tools" is very relevant.
Can you elaborate more?
That's not how Yelp works. Yelp is information + feedback.
That's true. The feedback is user contributed. If you write one review on HackerToolbox, it will be more like Yelp :)
