Today the whole thing is <a href="https://github.com/best-of-ai/best-of-ai">open source on GitHub</a> — data, site, scripts, CI. Community-driven from here on out.</p> <h2 id="flat-files-no-database">Flat files, no database</h2> <p>Every tool is a Markdown file in <code>content/tools/</code>. Categories live in <code>data/categories.yaml</code>. The <a href="https://bestofai.io/leaderboard/">leaderboard</a> ranks tools from <code>data/leaderboard.yaml</code>. No Postgres, no headless CMS, no vendor lock-in. Clone the repo, <code>git grep</code> for what you need, send a PR when something&rsquo;s wrong. That&rsquo;s the whole model.</p>
