The questions, answered in good faith. Mostly.
A running count of near-identical app launches, grouped into the categories they cluster into and plotted over time. One app does well, then forty more of it appear within days, and we write the number down.
Somebody shipped a pay-to-rank leaderboard, and within two weeks there were more than a hundred of them. We started keeping score in a Reddit comment, and the comment outgrew Reddit. This site is that comment with a domain name and a theme song.
If you launched a clone of something on the chart, statistically yes. Ask the machine: the
MCP endpoint has a check_slop tool that answers for any URL,
or press the big red button and find out the hard way.
We track waves, not quality. Some entries are genuinely well built. But if your launch post title matches thirty other launch post titles from the same week, that is not an accusation, that is arithmetic.
Press the big red Report Slop button on the homepage and paste your link. No account, no email, no review board, just a human with a queue. The steepest categories have never once needed our help finding entries, so you will be in good company.
Entries are public launch posts, so the record is a list of things people announced on purpose. If something is miscategorised or genuinely wrong, say so and it gets fixed. If moderators removed the post, we keep the date, because the date is the point.
It is claimed revenue: we add up what the launch posts brag. We believe those numbers exactly as much as you do, which is why the column is labelled the way it is.
Yes. There is an MCP endpoint at https://confab.sh/mcp with three tools:
slop_stats for the aggregate picture, check_slop for whether a URL is
already catalogued, and report_slop for handing in a launch we missed. It answers in
totals and trends. It does not hand over the list, because the list is the product and the vibes
are free. There is also an llms.txt with the tour.
Obviously. It has already been attempted by a directory that charges for placement. When the full wave of slop trackers arrives we have a category waiting for it, and we intend to be entry number zero.
