Editorial team

Soft.xyz is a small editorial operation. We don't accept paid placements, we don't take affiliate cuts on tool sign-ups, and we don't outsource review writing. The list below is the entire human team. The dataset itself is updated weekly from the public sources documented on our methodology page.

• Roman K

  Editor

  Reviews and maintains the Soft.xyz dataset: pulls weekly metrics from GitHub and npm, verifies pricing pages, writes the tool, comparison, and methodology copy. Background in backend engineering and developer tooling.

Editorial policy

• No paid placements. No sponsored tool slots in any ranking, comparison, or category page.
• No affiliate revenue on tool sign-ups. We don't collect referral commissions, so a tool can't buy its way up the list.
• Data refresh cadence: GitHub and npm metrics are pulled weekly; pricing pages are checked on the same cycle.
• Corrections: factual errors are fixed on the page within 24 hours of being reported. Email hello@soft.xyz.
• Conflicts of interest: any direct relationship between an editor and a listed tool (employment, equity, advisory) is disclosed on the affected page.
