everybody reads with their thumb on the scale. this is an attempt to show you where yours is — counted from which corners you open, on this device, and never sent to us. there is no endpoint to send it to.
How this works, exactly. Your browser keeps four small tallies: which corners you have opened, which you have written in, which subjects you open, and how often you looked at a second side before leaving. No crib is recorded, no times are kept, nothing is a history. The server is never told and could not ask. Clearing it below leaves nothing behind.
Which is the whole reason cribate can do this at all. The feed never learns anything about you, so the only machine that can describe your habits is the one in front of you.
the names come from the Cognitive Bias Codex — about 190 of these, sorted into four problems the brain is solving: too much information, not enough meaning, needing to act fast, and deciding what to keep. Diagram by John Manoogian III and Buster Benson, CC BY-SA.
