Frequently asked questions
Are these affiliate links?
Some are. Anything marked with an "Affiliate link" tag earns us a small commission if you sign up — at no extra cost to you. Free tools like VS Code, GitHub, Postman, TablePlus, Notion and Figma are not affiliate links.
Why do you recommend these specific tools?
Each one is something we actively use to build, host, learn from, or maintain Bitsfolio and the projects we cover. We do not list a product unless we have used it ourselves for at least three months.
Will the affiliate links cost me extra?
No. The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or go to the partner directly. The partner pays the commission out of their marketing budget.
Can I trust the reviews if you earn commission?
We disclose every paid relationship up-front. We have removed partners from this list when their product quality slipped, even when the commission was good. If you find a recommendation that no longer makes sense, email us — we will fix it.
What is the best Django hosting on this list?
For shared/budget Django: Hostinger. For VPS, App Platform or managed Postgres: DigitalOcean. For domains only: Namecheap. The right answer depends on traffic and whether you need managed databases.
Looking for free tools?
We also build free, in-browser developer tools — JSON formatter, color converter, timestamp converter, base64 encoder, and more.
