What is WTCraft.com?

WTCraft.com was born from the mind of a hyperactive web developer who’s constantly on the lookout for the best free or affordable tools out there. It’s a community-powered list of alternatives to proprietary and costly software, designed to help you find better, often open-source, solutions to get your work done.

How did WTCraft.com get started?

The idea came during a late-night coding session, driven by a passion for web development and a frustration with overpriced or closed-source tools.

Behind it is someone who’s obsessed with discovering, testing, and sharing web tools. Whether it's an open-source deployment platform or a tiny design utility, the goal is the same: find great tools and help others use them too.

How are rankings calculated?

WTCraft.com uses a custom-built algorithm to rank tools based on their health and relevance. The scoring considers:

1. GitHub metrics (stars, forks, watchers, contributors)
2. Project age and how recently it was updated
3. Community activity and development momentum
4. Manual reviews to fine-tune edge cases

This ensures both established and promising new tools get visibility—whether they’re backed by a large community or maintained by a solo dev with a dream.

Why open source?

Open source is the backbone of modern web development. It gives you freedom, transparency, and control. No more being locked into bloated subscriptions or worrying about sudden pricing changes. Want to host it yourself? Go for it. Want to contribute? Even better.

This site proudly highlights projects like Coolify and HostMyServers, which are shining examples of what open source can achieve when developers build for each other, not just for profit.
