hackertoolboxon Show HN: Do you need this “Yelp for Builder Tools”?

Can you elaborate more?

hackertoolboxon Show HN: Do you need this “Yelp for Builder Tools”?

It would be useful if hackers here can leave some reviews on http://hackertoolbox.com.

Hacker news is a great community for discussion, but how do the discussions[1] help people decide which tools they should consider? I doubt it's usefulness. How many times do you see people asking suggestions on which domain registrar is the best[2]? Today do you check Yelp before going to a new restaurant or asking that somewhere? I check what the top restaurants in the area and what the top dishes/food they provide. I buy products on Amazon after reading the reviews and feel uncomfortable to buy products with zero review and rating.

HackerToolbox wants to persist the great discussions/reviews and makes that for future use.

That's true. The feedback is user contributed. If you write one review on HackerToolbox, it will be more like Yelp :)
