Nice list! But I'm curious how you plan to improve the comparability? Static analysis covers a wide range, and I'd dare to say a beautifier is a little bit different than a rule checker, which is again a little bit different than an absence-of-error prover.

- omn1 6y agoGood point. Couple of thoughts: It helps to put different tools (formatters, linters) into separate groups per language. On top of that, adding the mode of execution (rule-based, AST-based and so on) would help with classification, too, but it's a lot of work that we could need help with over on Github. One thing that has become quite obvious for us is that people are interested in filtering based on web-services, commandline tools and so on, which we will add. That data is already there, we just haven't gotten around to adding filters to the site. Same for filtering by proprietary vs open source licenses. Many other categories come to mind. The challenge is to make it a helpful tool for beginners in the field while also adding features to drill down on the details. If you or anyone likes to discuss that further or wants to help build it, head over to https://github.com/analysis-tools-dev/website/issues/11 https://github.com/analysis-tools-dev/website/issues/11. That's one big advantage of building a product in the open. :)
