Extension specific guidance
Does the project help people make or fix something?
.tools is for websites that help people get something done. That might mean a browser utility, a box of calculators, workshop equipment or a carefully chosen resource library.
The ending is pleasantly practical. Visitors can expect something useful on the other side of the click, preferably without hunting through twelve paragraphs of brand philosophy first.
Why choose .tools?
It turns usefulness into the organizing idea. A focused product can pair its own name with .tools, while a collection can use the subject before the dot: writing.tools, garden.tools or team.tools as naming patterns.
A simple naming tip
Let the extension supply the word tools. northstar.tools is crisp; northstartools.tools sounds like someone dropped the toolbox down the stairs.
