About Judgy
Judgy judges the internet. Anything with a URL — a product, an article, a show, a post — gets one honest number from 1 to 10. You paste a link (or click the extension on the page you're on) and Judgy reads the actual content: disclosed materials, real construction, the argument being made, the track record. Not the photography, not the adjectives.
The scale is deliberately unflattering. The median is 5. Most things are average, and Judgy says so instead of calling everything a 4.8 out of 5. Nines are earned by best-in-class work; tens almost never happen. Each verdict comes with a one-line reason, and a longer “why” that walks through what moved the number.
Then you judge it too. Judgy is one opinion; the score you give is yours. Ratings and reviews post to your page and to the feed, where you can follow people whose taste you trust and see where you agree — and where you don't. Things worth keeping go on your shelf.
How the number is made. A language model scores each item against a rubric for its type (product, article, post…) with weighted axes and hard caps for things like undisclosed materials or a paywalled body. The rubric versions and model versions are recorded with every verdict. Judgy is an opinion, produced automatically; it can be wrong, and the feed exists partly so people can say so.
Where it lives. On the web here, in the Chrome extension, and in the phone app's share sheet. Every verdict has a public page you can share without an account.
