Today marks a milestone that still feels unreal: 10 years of oldschool.tools.

This project started on June 15th, 2015 with no roadmap or goals, just a calculator or two for my own use. All the other sites at the time were still focused on RS3 calculators. I worked on the project in the evenings until I thought it was good enough and maybe a few people would use it - and I launched it on January 6th, 2016 after 6 months of work.

Since then, the project has:

• Grown into a full suite of calculators, planners, trackers, and resources,
• I've shipped 2,142 updates (and counting) to the website - not including thousands more adjustments to our database of items, monsters, etc. That's 4+ updates a week for 10 years straight.
• Become a surprisingly well known website in the OSRS community. I've met dozens of people IRL all over the US who happen to use my website regularly.
• Built a system that tracks all items in the game and their changes to patch the website.
• Built an entire market tracking system that powers the prices on our site.
• Survived 3 rewrites of the entire website!
• And way more!

To everyone who has used the site, sent feedback, reported bugs, shared it with friends, requested features, or even just bookmarked it: thank you. I'm honestly so grateful that my hobby project has been useful enough that people have continued using it for 10 years. You might just be using a tool on a random website, but for me it means a ton to have people appreciate my work.

I’m incredibly proud of what oldschool.tools has become - but I’m even more excited about what’s coming next. Dozens of new features, new calculators, accounts for saving your favorite setups, and more tools to help you play more efficiently. A mobile app, and a new OSRS project launching publicly within the next few months. Watch for that right here in our news posts.

 So after a decade, a third of my life so far, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone.
