Find & browse tools
The Browse tools section (/tools) is your entry point to the catalog.
Here you combine search, filters and sorting to find exactly the tools
you are interested in.
Search
- The search bar searches name and description (full text).
- Shortcut: Press
/to focus the search. - The input is debounced so that filtering happens immediately with each keystroke.
Filter
Via the Filter button (with a badge for the number of active filters) you open the filter popover with:
- Tags — selection via checkboxes (scrollable list).
- Features — selection via checkboxes.
- Minimum rating — slider from 0 to 5 (in steps of 0.5); shows e.g. "3.0+".
Active filters appear as removable chips above the result list. Use Reset filters or Remove all to clear them again.
Sort
The Sort dropdown offers the following options:
| Sort | Description |
|---|---|
| Newest | New tools first |
| Top rated | By combined rating |
| Most rated | By number of ratings |
| Name (A–Z) | Alphabetically ascending |
| Name (Z–A) | Alphabetically descending |
| Last updated | By last update |
View & density
- Switch view: grid / table / rows.
- Density: comfortable / compact (slider).
Your selection is saved — locally in the browser and, for logged-in users, additionally on the server in the preferences. View, density, search, filters and sorting are reflected in the URL so you can share results.
Table view
In the table view the columns Tool, Rating and Number of ratings are sortable. Hovering over a row shows a preview with rating details, tags and mini bars.
Selecting for comparison & watchlist
- On every card/row you find a compare icon that lets you add tools to the compare bar.
- The bookmark icon saves tools to your watchlist (only with the corresponding plan).
API
All search, filter and sort parameters correspond to the query parameters of
GET /tools.
