The situation
Lists of free data services go stale. Half the entries are dead by the time you find them, and there is no way to test one without writing code first.
What I built
I built a curated directory of more than sixty services, each testable directly in the page. A keyboard shortcut opens instant search, and filters narrow by category, cost and whether a key is required. An automated check runs every day and flags anything that has gone offline, so the list stays honest.
What it lets people do
- Search 60+ services by category, cost, or sign-up requirement
- Test a service in the page before writing any code
- See at a glance which ones are currently working
Under the hood
The tools this is built with. You do not need to know any of them to use it — open one if you are curious what it does.
