I'm excited to launch Stackness - a social platform for people to share, discover, and discuss the tools and workflows they use to build software. Whether you're a backend engineer, a designer, a DevOps specialist, a PM, or a vibe-coder enthusiast - Stackness gives you a place to showcase your stack and learn from others.
Developers answer "what do you use?" constantly - in blog posts, Twitter threads, /uses pages, dotfiles repos and Stackness turns that question into a product!
Build your stack, share your moves, and see what everyone else is running.
Your stack on the record. Build a profile out of the tools you actually use, grouped by category and annotated with your own notes, config links, and screenshots. Every tool gets a start date and an optional end date, so your profile carries history, not just a snapshot. One link that answers "so what do you work with?" for good.
Show your moves. Tools are what you installed. Moves are how you work - the switches, the setups, the workflow tricks. "I put an instructions.md in every project root before writing any code." "TDD-first for every feature, then let the AI implement." Write them in markdown with code blocks and images, tie them to the tools they touch, and put them somewhere people will actually see them.
Your Stackness is chronological. Backdate your history, retire a tool, log the switch. Other people can follow the whole arc of how your setup got here.
See what everyone else is using. Explore surfaces trending tools, trending moves, and rising stars. Follow the people whose taste you trust and keep an eye on the rest.
Watch tools rise and fall. Trend waves charts how popularity shifts over time, with rising and falling panels, category filters, and ranges from 90 days to all time. Spot the next big thing while it's still small.
Curate the good stuff. Group tools and moves into collections: a starter kit, a migration plan, a wishlist. Share them or keep them private.
Keep a to-try list. Save anything you spot in someone else's stack, track what you've actually tried, and copy it into your own stack in one click.
Built for agents too. Stackness ships a hosted MCP server with 18 tools across stack management, moves, feed, social, and the tool database. Nothing to install or self-host - point your MCP client at https://stackness.dev/api/v1/mcp with an API key and Claude can read and manage your stack directly. There's a full REST API behind it too, 70+ endpoints, documented at /docs/api.
Stackness is free for everyone. Supporters help keep it running and get the weekly trends newsletter, trend waves, unlimited collections, advanced analytics, and early access to new features.
It is only the first version of the platform - a lot of stuff is not finished, the overall look is very AI-generated and so on... But I have plenty of ideas which I'm going to implement soon, so stay tuned!
