Best of AI is now open source!

We started Best of AI about a year ago as a curated list of AI tools worth using. Today the whole thing is open source on GitHub — data, site, scripts, CI. Community-driven from here on out.

Flat files, no database

Every tool is a Markdown file in content/tools/. Categories live in data/categories.yaml. The leaderboard ranks tools from data/leaderboard.yaml. No Postgres, no headless CMS, no vendor lock-in. Clone the repo, git grep for what you need, send a PR when something's wrong. That's the whole model.

The site is a Hugo static build. HTML, CSS, a bit of vanilla JS. Push to main, a GitHub Action runs hugo --minify, and the result lands on GitHub Pages. No server to babysit.

GitHub Actions do the boring stuff
