I like the concept, and signed up to give it a try. I searched for "running route builder", and after about 15 minutes it just showed "Error". I'm keen to actually give it a try though if this can be corrected!

#34How do I block my sites from appearing on your lists? I’m already spamming a lot with product and movie pitches and last thing I want is even more.

#36Some feedback: the signup process is difficult. I signed up, 32-char password, but it doesn't have a special character, so I had to regen. Ok fine, whatever. Then a captcha. At least it's not one of the ones that shows a new picture each time you click so you're endlessly clicking buses or manhole covers for 45 seconds. But I get captcha, whatever. Ok, so I sign up, and now I have to confirm my email. But...it's not…
In other words, if you didn’t already know it, this site is enforcing terrible security practice, and not trying to filter out known-bad passwords. (zxcvbn would laugh at you for trying that. Basically every site that deals with setting passwords should use it.)
The reason it’s terrible security practice is that literally most people will just capitalise the first letter, or add a one, or add an exclamation mark, so it adds roughly no security while making people use passwords that they can’t remember, so they store them insecurely, &c. Sure, people should use password managers and all that, but they don’t.

#37For the site - Your primary color/white combo used for your CTAs and links doesn't meet WCAG contrast ratios. You are running the risk of hindering users by reducing their ability to read text.

#38“audiobook” produced passable results.
“rust programming language” produced 100% garbage: in its 167 Tier1 matches (I didn’t look further) not one was in any way related to Rust or even to programming; and only a few were related to languages. From the titles, most matches were probably derived from the word “rust”, though not many past the first dozen or so were about rust in any way—it was more commonly “yeah, I can imagine that rust might be mentioned once in that article”. The rest I have no idea where they came from, I can’t see how any of the keywords would have matched.
