New review submission is broken, give generic error. I never miss an opportunity to complain about the dumpster fire that is ClickUp but I was unable to submit my 1-star review.
Does this consider positive (or even ambivalent) comments too? Put another way, a product with wider use will have more complaints than something niche but worse.
+1 to this. Let's say, in an alternate universe, beloved Evernote had 1000x as many users as this dying crappy app still has in ours. It could easily top this rating because for hot/popular tools there will inevitably be unsatisfied users, too, even if the general sentiment is 99% positive.
The rough math is based on % of negative vs. positive sentiment. There's likely a ton of noise around github that diluted the math. I can look into though, thanks for the feedback.
The only surprising absence for me was Datadog - the category I expected (high touch sales team, egregious margins, IPO or private equity pressures) is else wise pretty well represented.
I just checked the first comment about crowdstrike, and it’s not generally a negative review (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50315965). I think this app confuses a negative connotation of a post, with a mention of a product inside that post and assumes the negativity is towards the product.
I think there is some bias in it: if software is so exceptionally eternally bad that complaining about it is like saying that water is wet, then that will lead to fewer complaints. Yes, I’m looking at you, JIRA.

[ 6.2 ms ] story [ 83.6 ms ] thread"Hey, I talked to one of your engineers" tactics is scummy.
LinkedIn, RealPage, etc (on the list) are more so networks than a product.
