bweis··on Show HN: Concise Software Reviews
Excited to share our new software reviews product with the HN community and get your feedback. Over 2k individuals, including many YC founders, investors, and other notable folk, have left a review as well - please do add your voice if you like what you see.

At Siftery, we’ve taken a data first approach to software discovery. We’re now tracking 41k products and finding new ones every day, so reviews alone don’t cut it. However, we do think reviews can add critical context in the last mile, and we’ve structured our reviews feature around that.

Alex Wilhelm at Crunchbase made an interesting observation about our approach - “Siftery, however, is foregoing appending AI technology onto human-built recommendations. Instead, it is sticking humans onto AI-built recommendations.”

When I first read about this it wasn't immediately clear whether this was legit or a joke. Several days later and I still don't have any clarity.

Which is one of the many reasons Ethereum's proof of stake is so interesting.
