Just check https://www.whatruns.com/website/vuejs.org and you're showing the site as using EmberJS. Looks like you're not launch ready.

Sorry you feel that way. We truly understand your frustration with detection accuracy, but when there are tens of thousands of technologies to detect, the only solution is to break things and move fast.

We were featured on Chrome Webstore a few weeks back and got a great response (12k+ active users) helped us enormously in improving the accuracy and efficiency, and I'm sure HN and PH launch will be even more helpful in improving the product.

Sorry don't meant to be rude and I understand there are tens of thousands of technologies to detect. Kind of expecting your engine to be able to detect front end JS frameworks easier than backends, at least for those popular JS frameworks. In case you not notice the site I'm pointing to is the home page of VueJS and you're showing them using a competitor tech.

We're on it. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.

Well, at least you've got the business-speak down and can fix your bugs quickly. That'll get you far, I think.

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment.

You will probably want to add GNU Social. I pointed it at my site https://kwat.chat and it came up with nothing.

Also, Wordpress doesn't seem to be detected, either, on my other website: https://johnrockefeller.net

It's 2017 man, things are launched with kinks all the time now. Your definition of launch ready doesn't have to apply to everyone else.

Its kinda ridiculous that we've just accepted things are going to broken at launch.

Things are always broken at launch; you can’t prevent all the bugs and unexpected things always happen.

IMHO it’s a very good thing we’ve "accepted things are going to broken at launch"; the "ship early, release often" model works a lot better than "wait 10 years before release so that everything is perfect but you’re 9 years late".

Around ~2000 it became common knowledge to download the latest driver from the net instead of using the supplied one on the CD for hardware you just bought.

That is the assumption of broken hardware to be shipped 17 years avant la lettre?

I totally understand your point, but WhatRuns is not a broken extension. Google blessed us with more than 10k+ active users by featuring us on the Chrome Webstore front page :) and we have been improving the technology ever since.

However, there is a lot of manual labour involved in correcting detection inaccuracies, which our team is working full-time on. Rest assured WR will only improve from here on. Thank you for dropping by!

Try running it on www.example.com and let me know how many of those are accurate.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse

and it's been used at subdomain https://forum.vuejs.org/.

From another comment I understand that it shows all detecting stuff for all subdomains, so this is the case.

They discovered Discourse, which uses Ember.js.
