I built a free tools website with:

No login
No signup
No ads

Just open → use → close.

Because simple tasks shouldn’t feel complicated.

@allinonetools a very nice platform. Do you have ideas to monetize it at some point and how?

@kleisli Thank you, I appreciate that.

Yes, sustainability matters — but I’m trying to approach it carefully.

The priority right now is keeping the core tools free, fast, and without signup.

Long term, I’m exploring privacy-friendly options like optional donations or minimal, non-intrusive monetization — but never at the cost of simplicity.

Trust is harder to build than revenue.

@allinonetools speaking of signup. There are so many tools, and some I would use regularly, but I have to search for them every time. I'd love to see a "favourites" feature, where I can mark some tools that are show as the first thing on the root page. A signup would help for transferability across browsers or devices, but the list could also be stored as cookie or in the local storage.
@allinonetools and why do you prevent users from copying data? When I convert a value to a different unit e.g. I can not copy that value, only the conversion formula. So I have to type the converted value instead of just copy it. This is not very open or accessible.
