## What it is
A curated awesome-style list of software discounts (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, IDEs, hosting, etc.) available to student developers. It is a documentation-only repository with no code, maintained via community pull requests.

## Use cases
- find student discounts on developer tools
- get free IDE licenses as a student
- discover free cloud credits for students
- see what's included in the GitHub Student Developer Pack
- find free hosting and domain offers for students
- look up student deals on SaaS and PaaS services

## When to choose
- you are a student developer looking to save money on software and cloud services
- you want a single curated reference of student offers across many categories
- you want to browse community-maintained lists similar to free-for-dev

## When to avoid
- you need runnable software or a tool rather than a list of links
- you are not a student and need generally available free tiers
- you need guaranteed up-to-date pricing, since offers change frequently
