stackco.st

@buildwithshyam

Positive

Been using stackco.st and it’s honestly super useful. It gives a clear look into what tools and costs other founders are working with. Makes it much easier to compare, learn, and understand where you stand.

Groar

@buildwithshyam

Positive

Been using Groar since the early days and I genuinely love it. It makes tracking and sharing my growth feel simple and satisfying. Watching the progress build every day and seeing myself at number one on the leaderboard just makes me want to keep going.

I really like usigg Maptrics! Showed me exactly where the weak points were in my site! Would definitely recommend!

As a fellow builder, I love what you're doing with groap.app. Making your wins visual is so underrated — and you've nailed the execution. Clean UI, beautiful templates, and a use case that just makes sense. The kind of tool that looks simple but clearly took real thought to get right. Rooting for you! 🙌

stackco.st

@yannick_ferire

Positive

Such a great idea and angle to share your stack with transparency! It's only the beginning but very promising, and I think that I will keep using it every day Also, great founder, keep an eye on his journey 👀

From stack to tool page

Three steps from publish to signal

A short path: your lines in the open data, then what each tool page picks up—no sponsored placements.

Your stack

Tools and costs you publish

Your stack

You add tools and real monthly costs. When you publish your stack, you get a strong backlink out to your site. That receipt becomes the source for what the community sees.

Each tool page

Pricing, ratings, and "used in stacks" do not come from ads—they come from lines like yours, aggregated for everyone who browses that tool.

Pricing signal
What you pay on each line feeds the tool's public pricing picture.
Ratings
Stars from your entries roll up on that tool's page.
Usage in stacks
Community counts show how many stacks run each tool.

For makers

Turn your stack into a tool page, or claim a tool that is already here—either path keeps you in the same open data.

Transform your stack into a tool
After you create a stack, turn it into a tool page: a permanent launch surface with another strong backlink.
Continue to tools
Is your tool already in the catalog?
Claim it so you own the page when maker tools unlock—same data, your tool.
