What is Slant

“The one place I go to find out what the best product in any category is, be it programming tools or toys.” — Christian

“To me, Slant is a great place to find organized and detailed information about most anything, in a way that goes beyond what typical user reviews can offer. It’s one of the best places to help make informed decisions based on community input.” — Cube the Third

“Slant is a platform to ask questions and get independent answers and recommendations for various products, games, and software.” — Thomas

“Slant is a site which aims to have users suggest, nitpick, and rank devices/items/etc. to help other people make a decision.” — XYZForgottenMe

“For me, Slant is the place where the community is the prime reviewer of a product. They offer critiques and they give out unbiased, and fair critical reading to a product or service. It’s effectively a balanced and neutral community to give out recommendations to a specific use case.” — Cappuccino

Slant is a product recommendation community that helps connect people with the best products for them. You shouldn’t have to waste time and money to find solutions to your problems. By collecting the knowledge of enthusiasts across the world through recommendations, we can quickly and confidently show people the truth about a product.

Slant was built on, and is being built on, three core philosophies. The first of which is that there should be no market for lemons. You should be able to make the same decisions an expert would for any purchase, and Slant allows for that.

The second is that information should be organized around a problem, not a product. You don’t just need the best laptop, you need the best laptop for your needs. What are you really looking for? That’s what we want to help you find — the best products for you.

Finally, Slant believes in the power of the community. You use products, feel things about them, and see them in context of your life. Writers push out reviews before they can take in that context. Advertisements reframe feelings to create sales. But Slant users will only tell you what they know to be true.

That’s what Slant is. At its core, Slant is a place where people control the marketplace. We dream of a world where products succeed or fail on their own merits, and allowing people the space to share their thoughts is the first step in achieving that.
