OP here- excited to show this to the HN community! Someone posted the intro blog post in another thread but our plan was to just show off the product so here it is! Decisions is a way to quickly explain a specific technology decision you made.<p>Twitter is great, blog posts are great, but we think there's an interesting medium (pun intended) that could be really helpful when you're trying to make a decision about a tool or putting together a workflow. Example: I like this one about payments because it's pretty descriptive <a href="https://stackshare.io/adrienjarthon/decisions/101145664345355751" rel="nofollow">https://stackshare.io/adrienjarthon/decisions/10114566434535...</a>.<p>We believe sharing technology decisions should be as commonplace as writing an organized and thorough README.md. Ultimately, our goal is to increase the net amount of knowledge about technology accessible to all developers, which in turn will help make you more productive at work.<p>Contributing Decisions gives you visibility amongst other developers who care about the tech you’re talking about, and gives you the opportunity to discuss the technical details associated with that decision.<p>As I mentioned in the other thread, our hope is that over time, you'll end up with this structured repository of discussions around technology problems/solutions for a wide range of use cases that you can come back to whenever you need help.<p>More details about the launch here: <a href="https://stackshare.io/posts/introducing-stack-decisions" rel="nofollow">https://stackshare.io/posts/introducing-stack-decisions</a>.<p>Would love to answer any questions or hear your feedback!
I've really been liking Stack Decisions. We have our engineering team write one up whenever they want to make a tech decision (to avoid knee-jerk changes without reason), and it's been great to see what people think of new products we're trying. StackShare itself has been helpful for a while, and decisions adds a ton of context.<p>Here's an example one we wrote: <a href="https://stackshare.io/gkoberger/decisions/101031322441323967" rel="nofollow">https://stackshare.io/gkoberger/decisions/101031322441323967</a>
Your scrolling is broken when the decision modal is open[0]. You should either let the background scroll behind the modal or prevent it entirely.<p>[0]: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/XYe7pDE.gifv" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/XYe7pDE.gifv</a>
There are already too many general and intro postings. Also the postings are not very high density and slow to scan which only works if volume is kept low and focus tight.
