The service

HOT OFF THE FEED ranks an editorial catalogue of non-person topics by total Boosts. People cannot be ranked. Public topic creation is closed; the developer decides which suggestions to include.

Boosts and plans

Signed-in accounts receive 2 free Boosts per day, resetting at midnight UTC. Each Boost adds one to a topic’s score. Extra Boosts and monthly plans are optional purchases; prices and renewal terms appear at checkout. Paid Boosts have no cash value and are non-transferable. Apple subscriptions are managed through the App Store. Web subscriptions are managed through Stripe.

Account deletion

Account deletion is available in Account & Support in the iOS app. Deletion removes account data and unused credits and cannot be undone. It does not issue a refund or automatically cancel an Apple subscription. Cancel Apple subscriptions separately. Active web subscriptions are cancelled during deletion. Refund rights under applicable law remain unaffected.

Support and acceptable use

Do not automate abuse, attempt to rank people, or misuse sign-in or payment systems. We may correct or remove catalogue entries and scores affected by abuse. Contact dan@onicogroup.com for support or catalogue concerns.

Availability

We may change the catalogue and service. The service is provided as is, subject to rights and protections required by applicable law.

How ranking works

Ranking points combine editorial starter points and user Boosts. Starter points are curated, not votes or a poll. The starter baseline is a one-time editorial choice of 1–5 points for each approved non-person topic, based on approachable entry points, recognisable examples and variety. It does not claim measured popularity or engagement. Each User Boost adds one point, so user activity can outweigh the starter difference. User Boosts remain separate; account deletion removes that account’s contributions, not the editorial baseline. See the versioned starter points.
