It's impressive that only a quarter of the links are affiliate links.
Ex: I've used thewirecutter.com recommendations for home supplies--and I'm happy to give the creators a kickback for their effort (at no cost to me).

Wirecutter is an example of affiliate links working well. The site itself adds value by providing deep reviews of each product set and presents options, even at different price points.
The vast majority of sites that include affiliate links are nothing more than listicles with the bare min amount of content to get included in search engine indexes.
They're also notorious for not being maintained so whatever the "best, more curated, bespoke, ..." content was of 201X becomes the only recommendation ever presented.
I don't think this site qualifies though. There's nothing wrong with affiliate-linking an unbiased head-to-head comparison.
I don't know how this can be presented as 'a curated list of best tools' when it simply isn't
This isn't unbiased content, it's an advertorial - a blatant one, at that - and for that reason it doesn't really belong here.
My comment was half meant as a jest at exactly that. If they existed, I'm sure they'd be included as well.
> But jokes aside, as I tried to explain on the FAQ website, I'm not related with any of the companies and tried to choose them honestly, based on the quality of the service they offer. If they have affiliation links, I have add them. If not, it doesn't matter. There are many great services like Amazon, Heroku or all of the errors tracking tools, that don't have affiliation links and they are there because their service is great, so I'm not trying to trick people to use the other tools because that will give me money [truncated ...]
Oh come on. We all know you created the site specifically to plant affiliate links. There's no shame in admitting it.
> [... truncated] (also, none of the affiliation links give you real money, usually those are some credits on each platform, and if, for example an affiliation link can help me host the this website for free for couple of months, then why not).
You can host this website for free, permanently, as a static site on GitHub pages.
Saying you can use the money to pay for hosting the site "free for couple of months" shows you know even less about what's available than I already thought.
