Vol. 001 — July 2026 The switch-decision paper Cards on file: 2
Neutral verdicts for fast-moving dev tools

A new tool just dropped.Should you switch?

Every “X vs Y” comparison on the internet is written by a vendor selling one of the tools. We read everything — Reddit, GitHub issues, X, YouTube — strip the astroturf, weight the evidence, and publish one dated, honest verdict. With receipts.

We googled "remotion vs hyperframes" — all 5 first-page results are vendor-owned. The only neutral review on the entire web was a personal blog. In Japanese.

How a verdict gets made

Not a scrape. Not a listicle. A weighted read of everything that's actually been said.

Sweep everything

Reddit threads, GitHub issues, X, YouTube transcripts, blogs — the whole surface, not the first page of Google.

Strip the noise

Vendor comments flagged. Astroturfed subreddits discounted. Every source scored for reliability and neutrality.

Publish with receipts

Verdict, switch-if / stay-if, works-with matrix, honest sentiment counts — every claim traceable to a dated quote.

The rules that keep us honest

  • We charge readers, never vendors. No sponsorships, no affiliate-tilted verdicts. Ever.
  • Every card is dated. A stale verdict is a lie by omission — cards get re-swept, and you can see when.
  • Real counts, not fake percentages. “6 of 15 independent comments” — never a pie chart invented from 40 replies.
  • We show what we skipped and why. Every card lists coverage gaps. Silence about sources is how the other guys do it.
