I think this sort of resource (if including actual use-cases and potential alternatives) could be useful. Right now it shows scores for security, performance, reliability, design, popularity, and those seem to be calculated with very loose and unreliable scoring and I'm guessing they are mostly there to fill out the content. There does not seem to be non-openapi api:s there (for example OSM, wikipedia or any IA) I don't think this is useful for any dev choosing an API in its current state.

Is the plan to actually build this out to be a usable tool or is it just a way for you to get people to submit API:s and get some marketing?

I agree that there is a lot of room for improvement. We are a small team and we had to start somewhere to have feedback from the community and improve accordingly :)

Thanks for the great ideas, I share your opinion on those
