A “Tools” category may not be a bad idea. For now you can just search for “tools”, I guess.

[Free-as-in-freedom tools for Designer Dev communication and creation](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/free-as-in-freedom-tools-for-designer-dev-communication-and-creation/316) is my favorite post on this topic. It used to be a GitHub issue.

There’s also [Open source design needs better collaboration tools](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/open-source-design-needs-better-collaboration-tools/22) and [Tools We'd Like to See](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/tools-wed-like-to-see/314) .

I’ve heard some people worry that there’s already too many categories for posts, so I was wondering whether it makes sense to add another category, or to start dipping into the “tags” functionality?

Though personally I have no issue creating a “tools” category, it’s something we spend a _lot_ of time thinking and talking about.
