This is a great idea. In general, I think there's great potential in anything that connects developers with other developers to provide reviews of software.<p>Recently, I tried to research some of the new CMS/API platforms that have been released in the last year. There was no information. I'm sure these API's have been used thousands of times, but developer has written a review. So I'm left making decisions off marketing pages and PR-driven blog entries. Implementation takes hours that I don't have, I just want a trusted review.<p>It's really dry territory. You can do well here.
Thank you for creating this site! I am a Computer (Software) Engineering student and love to develop web applications in my free time. I am always looking to further my skillset and it seems this will prove really useful in understanding the choice of infrastructure/tools/languages by large companies.<p>Can anyone recommend any resources to better understand the interaction between the aforementioned choices (e.g. why would one company prefer a certain combination of language and infrastructure over a different combination)?
Interesting site. A valuable tool for startups and developers looking to expand their toolset.<p>Please make a shortcut for "I use this", so we can add technologies without navigating to their individual pages. I added 10 technologies off the top of my head but I keep being reminded of other ones I use and adding them involves a lot of clicking and back and forth.<p>Added to favourites!
This is great! I like being able to see so many different Utilities and DevOps tools being used. But it seems like many of the top stacks don't mention the application frameworks or languages that they're using. Why might that be the case?
This is neat. One thing, would it be possible to show "verified" accounts? Meaning if someone puts up the stack that Twitter uses, how do I know for sure this isn't someone's guess and someone at Twitter actually posted it?
I don't understand what is up with your site - this and the old LeanStack - but when I have Ghostery enabled I'm completely unable to click buttons. Mind taking a look at it maybe?
Very cool! Right this morning I was looking at who's using django+mysql.<p>Can I ask you how accurate is the data and if/when it's "certified" from the source? From my morning search I found pinterest and rdio using both django and mysql, but this is not reflected in StackShare (missing mysql for pinterest, missing both django, mysql for rdio -- again, I'm not sure about my results, it's just a coincidence that I was searching that).
This is really cool, I've wanted to create something like this myself for some time. How did you go about initially curating enough data?<p>On another note, it would be great to see a brief description about why the company uses a particular technology.
First of all, thank you. It's great!<p>I'm interested in the 'business' aspect of this site.
How do you plan to make profit ?
How can you make people come back to the site when the stacks don't change that quickly ?
Dammit this was one of my startup ideas...oh well. Nice work btw. It might be interesting to group companies by industry. Considering I work in education, I would want to know what LMSs and CRMs are used by educational institutes for example.<p>Which raises another thought: wouldn't some organizations want to keep their stack secret from competitors, since a mature stack is usually the result of years of experienced decision-making.
Nice, I've been using <a href="http://www.slant.co" rel="nofollow">http://www.slant.co</a> for this sort of thing. Different stacks and commentary from folks on plusses and minuses. The rating system is nice but the question I'm always trying to answer is "Can I solve problem X with Stack Y?"
hmmm... doesn't seem to detect cfml as being used. other than that, very nice!!!<p>I scanned the cfwheels repo: <a href="https://github.com/cfwheels/cfwheels" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cfwheels/cfwheels</a><p>picked up almost everything that we're using
Leanstack.io was extremely useful for discovering services. Needed best A/B testing tools? I used to go to Leanstack. I don't seem to find any reason to visit Stackshare. I don't really care whether Twitter uses Zendesk or Freshdesk.
This and the then leanstack.io is actually close / already fulfills #54 idea in <a href="https://github.com/samsquire/ideas" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/samsquire/ideas</a>, great and very interesting stuff.
Cool idea, but there seem to be a few duplicates for Java. When I search 'Java', I see 3-4 duplicate results, only the first one has any companies listed, and the rest seem to be empty?
Seems like the scanning may be broken. I just tried it with <a href="https://seatgeek.com" rel="nofollow">https://seatgeek.com</a> and it says the site isn't public.
Nice work yonas... here's my side project as well, doing something similar :)<p><a href="https://packageindex.com/#!/" rel="nofollow">https://packageindex.com/#!/</a><p>All the best Yonas...
Great job! I wouldn't have created <a href="http://hackertoolbox.com" rel="nofollow">http://hackertoolbox.com</a> if I knew this. Time to kill myself!
One feature I would request is search. Say I want to see all stack which have Ec2 or digital ocean in it.<p>Rest this will seriously be helpful to us.<p>Edit: Its already there but not directly.
