Show HN: Site Mogging (sitemogging.com)

Maybe im not in the target audience, but i had to look up what mogging is because its not explained anywhere

This is a fun tool. I compared https://www.tyleo.com to Hacker News and won (Hacker News got 2.7, not hard to beat).

What I really wanted though was just a way to get my own site’s score without having a competitor.

I don't know what "site mogging" is, but apparently "emsh.cat mogged simonwillison.net" with the following description:

> emsh.cat wins due to its superior use of negative space and a more intentional, minimalist typographic hierarchy that creates a sophisticated reading experience. While simonwilliam.net provides high information density, emsh.cat achieves a more polished and modern aesthetic through its refined layout and balanced composition.

So "mogged" is about minimalism somehow? Fancy/modern term for "beauty" or similar?

I love how Hacker News seems to loose out to basically everything, even example.com ("such intentional use of whitespace!")

Mogging is vocabulary from the incel-community whcih has unfortunately become mainstream. As with so much other incel garbage (like x-maxxing and x-pilling).

EDIT: Around 16 years ago I was very much into bodybuilding and fitness, and spent a lot of time on the bodybuilding misc forum. Around that time the incel community started to take shape, and you had forums like PUA hate and other dark corners of the internet. These people were also very active on the bodybuilding forums, and would try to steer users over to the incel communities (interesting note: These communities started out as a place where unsuccessful men could vent over having spent money on pick-up artists, without any results).

Those places had a very distinct lingo, which is the very same that you see today with mogging / maxxing / pilling / etc. They even had a glossary.

Were those words older than those communities? Yes, very much so. But they've been completely hi-jacked, and any modern usage comes from those communities.

Shame about the screenshotting feature - it doesn't afford the ability for a more interactive site to really showcase itself.

Good example: The site of the family office of the heir to the Nintendo empire only got a 4/10 https://www.y-n10.com/

Haha, great project. I had no idea what mogging means, but my underdog site apparently mogged the segment leader: https://sitemogging.com/mogged/dles.aukspot.com-vs-dles.gg

I love it. It turns out my friends site is mogging mine. Can't let this stand, time to vibe. Thank you for prompting me to act.

Not sure about this one - my slightly terrible portfolio website that i'm in the process of completely revamping (bemben.co.uk) managed to mog simon wilsons webblog (https://simonwillison.net/) - which is a far better website in all aspects!

Maybe introduce some additional stats like load times, content analysis etc - and tweak the prompt slightly - just because a website looks slightly newer, doesn't mean it's better at all!

Ironically, Cloudflare won't let Cloudflare Cloudflare:

https://sitemogging.com/mogged/asda.com-vs-tesco.com

asda.com uses Cloudflare to block Cloudflare

tesco.com uses Akamai to block Cloudflare

Interesting: "whitehouse.gov cannot be mogged because it resolves or redirects to a private/internal network address."

There's so much tracking on this site it's even running WebGL to try and fingerprint the browser. Is that really necessary for a joke site, or does this ship by default with every CloudFlare site?

Can't use it, the form has captcha which detects me as a bot:(

Seems legit for Google vs Kagi: https://sitemogging.com/mogged/google.com-vs-kagi.com

First time I come across mogging, but this looks like a automated evaluation version of a hot or not for websites.

Not to be confused with morging

Four(?) years ago this could have been a PhD thesis project

this would work better if gemma 4 actually could tell what it was looking at

"Sitemogs.com" would have rolled off the tongue better

This is funny because to me "mogg" means the encrypted multichannel song audio format for Rock Band games
