Slant is a collaboratively edited resource that helps you quickly make decisions.
Instead of having to read multiple blog posts or dig through comment threads you can read summarized perspectives on topics with no definitive answer.
Everything on Slant is written by the community. You can improve any of the existing content or add your own point of view.

Pro Pros and cons vs users' answers
Most Q&A sites give each user the chance to give an answer (sometimes multiple answers). A lot of the content of each user's answers will overlap, resulting in duplication of information (thus more to read), or information being lost in noise (e.g. if someone sees existing answers and adds a missing point without copying existing information, their point will likely languish at the bottom of the list of answers as it did not answer the majority of the question).
Slant approaches this differently; rather than focusing on the users, it focuses on the points; Pros and Cons. Any user may amend the information in a pro/con, may vote based on how much that pro/con influenced their decision, and may add their own pros and cons if certain points are missing from the canon.
Pro See all answers clearly
An enumeration of recommendations is easily viewed as a list, making it a good starting point for researching available options. This is the opposite of other sites in which multiple choices may be listed within a single answer, with the need for the user to read through paragraphs of information to pick out the key articles.
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.
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.
Pro Designed for subjective questions
Slant.co's reason for being is to answer subjective questions. It was born with the knowledge that other sites existed to handle objective questions and answers, but they made no attempt to handle the intricacies of subjective answers. Slant.co is the only site focused on solving this specific area.
Cons
Con No contact form to easily contact the Slant team
If you have a suggestion or a bug to report to the Slant team, and you don't want to bother with the Discord chat, there is a "Contact" button hidden in the Slant's dropdown menu which uses "mailto:founders@slant.co" to try to invoke the installed email client. A lot of people today use a webmail (such as Gmail) and don't have the email client program installed (or setup) so the "Contact" button will simply silently fail (at least on the Firefox).
Con Pro/con authorship mixup bug
There is a bug where if you write a recommendation (and possibly some other actions), the existing "Pro" and possibly "Con" points written by other authors will switch to being written by you. This bug is possibly due to Slant's attempt to implement Pros & Cons "traveling" from question to question.
