The snapshot comes from the official Stack Exchange and Bluesky APIs, queried from our server. When you open the page, your browser also queries Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Exchange and Bluesky directly and merges what it finds. No Reddit or X: their APIs need paid commercial agreements and we don't scrape.
How do you decide which posts count?
A post has to name 1Password right next to an asking phrase: "1Password alternative", "alternative to 1Password", "switch from 1Password" or "replace 1Password". Repo-trending bots are removed. Posts that read like questions are marked "Asking"; the rest are people answering, comparing or launching. It's a keyword heuristic, not AI.
