Changelog

Changelog

Product changes, and - more importantly - every change to how verification and ranking work. If the rules move, it is written down here with a date.

Why this page exists

  • A board that ranks on evidence has to be honest about when it changes what counts as evidence.
  • Any change to how the board score is computed is published here before it takes effect.
  • Corrections to published figures are logged here too, with what was wrong and when it was fixed.

Recent

  • Free tools launched - SEO, domain and developer utilities, all free and most running entirely in the browser.
  • Markdown twins added at /md/ for every page, so AI answer engines can read clean text.
  • Verification statistics published at /stats, recomputed daily from the live board.
  • Launch platform comparisons published, with domain ratings measured and dated.

Why the rules are published here

A board that ranks on evidence has an obligation the ordinary launch board does not: when it changes what counts as evidence, everyone whose position depends on that definition deserves to know. Silently reweighting a score is the single easiest way to turn an objective-looking ranking into an editorial one, and it is common enough that assuming otherwise would be naive.

So every change to how the board score is computed is written here with a date, and where the change is material it is published before it takes effect rather than after. That includes weight changes, new proof types, and changes to how often verification expires. If your product moves and nothing about it changed, this page should explain why.

Corrections are logged here too, with what was wrong, how long it was wrong for, and when it was fixed. This is uncomfortable to maintain and it is the point: a site that publishes other people's failed re-checks has no standing to hide its own mistakes.

Product changes - new pages, new tools, interface work - are logged in the same list without special ceremony. They are the less important half of this page, and they are here because a changelog that only appears when something goes wrong is not read by anyone.

Common questions

Are ranking changes announced before they take effect?
Material changes to how the board score is computed are published here in advance. Minor fixes are logged when they ship.
Does the changelog cover corrections to published figures?
Yes, including what was wrong and how long it was live. Corrections are not edited in silently.
