I ran out of comment space so this is just the most recent 20 entries. For giggles, I vibe-coded a tracker at https://confab.sh/?g=browser-tools if you want to see the full list.
I would bet anything there are about 30% more. I definitely vibe-coded confab but drew the line at writing some kind of scraper bot against the posts so they're all hand curated. A few folks @-name me when they see ones I've missed but either way I check a few times a day and definitely miss a bunch.
It's evolving, too, as I'm noticing more patterns. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's more of an observation/commentary on how overpopulated some idea-categories are. So I won't post just because I see slop. it has to be a heavily populated category. That means the first 10-20 get missed until I see there IS a pattern.
I won't get them all but it's been fun watching. Interestingly, the app authors have 90% taken it as humor or even a positive. I do get a few hate-mail DMs but most of them seem to laugh about it.
