We're shutting down [Fall 2025]

I started this website over a decade ago, back when there weren't many hot sauce related sites and responsive web design was still a new subject. It started as a learning project and has been a labor of love to keep it curated and up to date. I've appreciated everyone who has taken the time to write reviews and add new hot sauces over the years. Lately it has become more of a burden, and I cannot put as much into the site as it needs. The current situation with reduced web traffic and AI submissions makes it even more unsustainable going into the future. It has been a hard decision to shut the site down.

The site will remain up for a few weeks in case anyone would like to save their reviews or wishlists. After the shutdown, they could still be accessible through WaybackMachine. The domain name is also available for sale on NameCheap.
