Slant

Top Pro

Community rated answers

Unlike a number of other Q&A sites where the person asking the question picks the winning answer, Slant accepts that they're asking because they don't know the answer, so they allow everyone in the community to pitch in by upvoting the best answer. See More

Top Con

UI is a bit slow/unresponsive

Top Pro

Unbiased information you can trust

Slant isn't financially tied to any products listed on it. All the categories (organized into 'questions'), products (organized as 'options'), and pros/cons are added, and edited by real users - there is no way for a company to pay to have a favorable review (and if they try to do it themselves, the community can report (flag) or edit any false claims.

Top Con

Pros and Cons don't travel from question to question

If you see a new question and choose to add an option already recommended in another question, you need to add all pros and cons from scratch. See More

Top Pro

Multiple chosen answers

Subjective questions may have more than one answer. Slant allows people to vote for more than one answer as being correct, and to append the pros and cons which influenced their decision to their vote; thus giving a context of in which situations each answer may be considered correct. See More

Top Con

Focus on software/apps

Top Pro

Public visibility

You do not need to have an account to view existing content (questions or answers). People can see what they're getting into before deciding if they'd like to sign up for an account and contribute to the site. See More

Top Pro

Content can be easily kept up to date

Since anyone can edit content on the site, the pace at which information changes are reflected on the site is not arbitrarily limited by the number of writers the site has. See More

Top Pro

Compares options while taking context into consideration

Context such as purpose, limitations, and situations change what options should be recommended and what pros and cons should be surfaced. For example, a comparison of Linux distributions for general use and Linux distributions for development will discuss the topics in different ways. See More
