## Overview

free-for-dev is a curated README catalog of free-tier services for infrastructure developers and open-source authors. Readers browse categorized offerings; contributors can submit pull requests to add services. The README documents many catalog categories, but the tree and available excerpts provide no application code or evidence of runtime processing, so the graph represents the documented catalog rather than an implementation pipeline.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/jixserver/free-for-dev/blob/master/README.md) (Free-tier catalog)
