Where do these posts come from?
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 Notion right next to an asking phrase: "Notion alternative", "alternative to Notion", "switch from Notion" or "replace Notion" and also mention a related word, so unrelated uses of the word are dropped. 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.
