Comment (by calebj7):

 This comment is in response to @karmatosed point about length and
 readability in the description.
 In the example above it has "Categories and Tags Converter" mentioned a
 second time in the description but as a link to the tool; I like that it
 makes finding it easy by having the link provided, but having the link be
 the exact name of the Tool in the description seems redundant and wordy.
 Having the title of the tool (Categories and Tags Converter) as the link
 (flashes blue as you mouse over it or just a cursor change), maintains the
 accessibility of the link and allows the description to be much shorter
 and to the point.
 For example:
 **Categories and Tags Converter**
 Easily convert categories to tags (or vice versa).

 (Exactly 50 characters)

 Taking out the redundancy and allowing the tool title to be the link
 should, theoretically, help keep the description shorter in any language.

 Also, it does seem odd that there is a page for available tools that force
 you to go somewhere else to activate the said tool. An idea would be to
 have an activator next to each tool that you could switch on and off as
 desired.
