What people write in about — and where it's already answered
Almost everything that would land in a contact form is a question with a published answer. Here are the four that come up, and the page that handles each.
- "You should list this." The standard is public: how we curate sets out what earns a listing and what gets declined. The submissions page explains what a useful suggestion contains — what the thing is, who it is for, why it is honestly worth being hopeful about, and a link anyone can open and verify.
- "Something here is wrong or out of date." The editorial policy sets out how a claim gets checked, corrected, or pulled, and why corrections are dated on the page rather than quietly swapped in. A conforming entry must carry the date they were assessed, which is the honest boundary of what any of them claims.
- "How does the money work?" Disclosure is the whole answer: how sponsorship and affiliate links are labelled, and why neither one buys a listing or a better position. There is no paid lane, no priority queue, and no plan to build one.
- "What does the name mean?" About answers it directly. Uptism is a coined word for relentless, grounded optimism about technology and progress — a stance rather than a product, and the only meaning we give it. The case for optimism is the longer argument behind it.
What to include
Link to the relevant page, explain the issue, and provide a public source when possible. The contact form collects your name, email, subject, and message so the team can handle your request. Do not send passwords, identity documents, or unnecessary private information. See the privacy policy.
Use the published routes
The honest routes are the published ones, and they are open now.
- Check the standard before assuming an error. How we curate and what earns a listing explain the bar. A lot of "this is wrong" turns out to be "this is dated", and the date is on the entry.
- Read an entry the way it's meant to be read. How to read a directory entry explains what the framing does and does not claim, including where the caveats live.
- See how the vetting actually goes. How we vet an AI tool walks through the process on a real category, and how directories become link farms explains the failure mode we are trying not to become.
- Judge the point of view directly. What we mean by grounded optimism is the short version; the case for optimism is the long one. Both are more useful than an email exchange about it.
- Just browse. The directory, collections, and Stumble are the site doing the thing it exists to do.
Who this page is for
- Readers checking a possible error. The record matters. The editorial policy explains how the site verifies, dates, and records corrections it identifies.
- People with something to suggest. The submissions page describes what we are looking for and how a suggestion is judged.
- Journalists and researchers. About states plainly who this is and what the name means. Use the same contact form for press enquiries.
- Anyone weighing whether to trust the site. Read how we curate and disclosure. Those two pages tell you more about our incentives than any reply would.
