The standing rankings

Every board publishes what it measures, what qualifies an app for it, and how many apps were considered, so a position can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Category boards

Every App Store category runs its own boards — Kings, biggest, oldest, priciest, and best-rated. They are templated, unindexed pages: live and linked for readers, kept out of Google’s index so the indexed surface stays substantive.

“Analysis” is the length of the commentary published with each board; boards without commentary read pending and are not linked from the homepage. Individual application records are unindexed, ad-free, and citable — shown to people, withheld from crawlers, and cross-linked into the analysis that uses them.
