Looks promising. Not sure what I think of the concept of a 'Manager' (user who was the original submitter) being the only one to approve changes, seems a bit odd considering the rest of the community aspect.

A similar site, tosdr.org, was launched a couple years back to help filter through website TOS. It lacks a community editable system, and even with various publicity and funding still has a limited set of sites in their index.

Hopefully this new site can gain more traction and continue to develop.



Yeah, TLDRLegal is actually older than ToS;DR, and I noticed that the community there kinda stagnated because editing was so difficult. I don't know what happened to them after they got their 10k from indiegogo, but I think they're still around. The idea of "managers" is to keep an authority reviewing the content since legal info is sensitive and can be very impactful to people, but TLDR admins can always transfer management from one person to another.


Interesting point about mangers being an authoritative source, but if the manger is just the first user isn't that a bit arbitrary?

Good luck anyway!
