Description
Describe the bug
The same tool coming in from two different repos with slightly different capitalization show up as two different listings.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to https://tools.openapis.org/categories/converters.html
- See there is "APIMatic Transformer" and "Apimatic Transformer"
Expected behavior
Perhaps they could be deduplicated by keying them on a slugified version of the name instead of a plain string.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the duplicate entries on https://tools.openapis.org/categories/converters.html and trace how listings from different repositories are combined. The work is done when differently capitalized names such as “APIMatic Transformer” and “Apimatic Transformer” appear as one listing without removing distinct tools.
