How it is ranked

  • Each item is judged for an engineer who builds with AI: how much it could change how you work this week, whether it is new, and whether there is real code or results behind it.
  • How hot it is where it was found counts too: points, stars gained, upvotes and likes, each on its own scale.
  • A find picked up in several places at once ranks higher than one seen once.
  • Today fades an item by half its lift every two days. This week ranks on quality alone.
  • Nobody pays to be listed.
