How this site is maintained
AllDevToolsHub is a single-maintainer project, and the scope is deliberately sized for that. The indexed catalogue is about 100 tools rather than several hundred, so each one can be kept current, tested across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and corrected quickly when something is wrong.
Accuracy leans on primary sources: tool logic is checked against the relevant RFC or W3C spec, code snippets are run before publishing, and every tool page lists its known limitations. Internal links are verified by a script on each build. Corrections are logged publicly on the Editorial Standards page.
