Hello, fellow makers and tool enthusiasts! I'm really excited to launch my first iOS app to the App Store today. I made Share My Stack for people who, like me, care about the tools they use daily. The app provides an easy way to curate your personal software stack, share it with the world, and discover what others are using. Use Cases šŸ“± Curate your personal productivity or development stack šŸ“£ Share your stack on social media šŸ’” Discover which apps others are using, find great new tools It started with a "Productivity Stack" only, but the most common feedback from the early beta testers was that they wished to create multiple stacks so that they, for example, could share their favorite "Development Stack" as well. So today, Share My Stack is launching with Productivity and Development stacks, with more stack types planned to follow. Stack Types āœ… Productivity Stack āœ… Development Stack šŸ”œ Creator Stack šŸ”œ Design Stack šŸ”œ School Stack šŸ”œ Startup Stack šŸ’” Your ideas! So please check it out, create your stack, and add your favorite tools! Is your favorite tool missing, or do you have ideas for additional stack types, tool categories, or general features? Please just comment here, I'll be monitoring this closely and adding data to the app continuously (yes, live!). Download the app via https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sh... Also, after creating your stack in Share My Stack, share your profile URL here in the comments. And when you post it on social media, you'll get a nice preview banner for the link showcasing the apps you use. PS: I almost forgot that I decided to do something unconventional. If you're interested in how Share My Stack is built (React Native, Expo, WatermelonDB, Tamagui, Supabase), you can take a look at the source code. I made the GitHub repository public today, so it's all out in the open! Check it out at https://github.com/bndkt/sharemy...

Awesome work @bndkt, thanks also for open sourcing it and writing a guest blogpost: https://supabase.com/blog/react-... The Supabase team and community thanks you šŸ’š
Benedikt
@schaeff_t thank you for all your support!!!
Nick Milo
We all want to know what other people are using. Share My Stack helps answer that. What a cool app, and one I'm happy to share my stack on!
Benedikt
@nickmilo thank you so much for your support Nick and thanks for agreeing to be one of the featured profiles in Share My Stack, a lot of people are interested in what tools you're using!

Great launch! As a Chrome Extension Developer I have a strange stack: Extensions: - Frontend: Svelte + TypeScript + SCSS + Chrome APIs - Backend: Firebase - Analytics: Google Analytics Landing Page: - Astro - Google Ads - Google Keyword Planner
Benedikt
@connor8 Not too strange! TypeScript is already available as a tool on Share My Stack, I'll see how the others fit in with existing or potential new categories as well!

Congratulations on the launch! How many users are you expecting to acquire by the end of this year, and what strategies do you have in place to increase your user base?
Benedikt
@manoj_11 honest answer: This is a side project, I'm doing this to showcase my work and have fun. So there's no user acquisition projection until EOY no growth strategies in place, sorry šŸ˜‚

Congrats on the launch. Having a people-based approach rather than company-based approach when it comes to stack-sharing is really promising. The UI looks very clean. I'll definitely delve more into the code(thanks for publishing it publicly again, really appreciate it a lot.). While I was browsing through the screenshots in the App Store, I saw the "Productivity Stack" examples there(I wasn't quite attentive while browsing here I guess.). There, I immediately thought it might become the linktr.ee to help people share their day-to-day tools. They can share it with their audience and update it whenever necessary, and if audience members want to be updated with the latest tool changes/upgrades for their favorite creators, they can subscribe to that creator's stack. Just a thought. Overall, to the point, clean, great execution. Congrats.
Benedikt
@emredevsalot thank you so much for the feedback! Yeah, it started with Productivity Stack only but feedback from the early beta testers was that they wanted to created multiple different stacks, for example to share their development stack. Which makes sense, so I added it!
Emma Jon
Yes I do care about the tools.
Bryan Van Horn
Any really weird or interesting stacks from what you've seen so far? Congrats on the launch!
Benedikt
@bryan_van_horn that's a good question. Nothing weird so far, I'd say. You can clearly see that people tend to choose tools from the same company wherever possible, i.e. using either all Google, all Microsoft, or all Apple tools. And then you can see people with more "corporate" stacks including Outlook and Teams for example vs. people with more "personal" stacks with more indie tools.

Would be nice to have a dashboard showing percentage of the community is using certain stack. I can imagine myself finding "Still using jQuery in 2023", or "Still using Flash in 2023".
Benedikt
@david_yu11 yes, that’s a good idea! I’m definitely planning to add some statistics like ā€žmarket shareā€œ of tools on Share My Stack and potentially also things like highlighting which users were early to certain tools. Or who’s holding out the longest, I like the ā€žStill using jQueryā€œ badge idea šŸ˜…
David Yu
@bndkt Thats right, imagine these badges can be shown in LinkedIn would be awesome too.
Radek Czemerys
Not a product I need myself but I appreciate building in public! Good luck with the launch! šŸš€
Benedikt
@radko93 Thank you, I appreciate it! šŸ™
