bestskills.dev - A curated site for selected skills and reviews

Skills are genuinely useful, but one frustrating thing is: finding a good one that actually fits my needs is not easy.

Recently, I wanted to draw an architecture diagram for my website. I headed over to skills.sh and searched for the keyword architecture diagram, and there were 36 Skills in total. I tried several of the top-ranked ones, but unfortunately none of them worked out for me.

Ironically, a lesser-known Skill with only a few hundred installs ended up being the perfect fit. It renders architecture diagrams with HTML, which gives far better tweakability compared to SVG-based alternatives.

All this trial and error cost me two whole hours — time I’d rather have spent hanging out with friends.

That’s exactly the pain point I ran into, and it’s the whole reason I built my project bestskills.dev

Also feel free to drop a comment and nominate the next Skill you’d like me to review and benchmark.
