How we check
Every day from November to mid-January a script reads Dato’s front page and pricing page on sindresorhus.com, and any page they link to that looks like a sale. When Dato’s own page names New Year and an amount off, this page changes to show it, quoted word for word with a link. We don’t copy codes from coupon sites, and we earn nothing if you buy.
