README: Tool Evaluations Category

Welcome to the Tool Evaluations category! This is a dedicated space on my forum for documenting, evaluating, and discussing useful tools I've discovered for various tasks. Whether it's converters, utilities, productivity apps, or development aids, I'll log them here with structured reviews to make it easy to reference later.

The goal is to build a personal "geek toolbox" database that's searchable and expandable. If the forum grows or others join, feel free to contribute evaluations in the same format—I'll moderate for consistency.
