Ask HN: Good way to find out about best workflows / technology stack?

2 pointssabertoothed2 comments

I have so many tech side projects I would like to implement. But I seem to struggle with identifying the right basic technology stack for my projects.

What are good ways to find out about currently "optimal" technology stacks and workflows in the tech industry?

Are there websites that allow users to share their tech stack / workflows with others?

EDIT: Typo.

https://stackshare.io is one such website.

But the answers are usually clear. If you just know Python or Ruby, use Django or Rails. If you know JS, try a Node server and React. Using a language you know is usually more important than using someone else's favourite thing.

I am currently contemplating an idea around processing *.svg. Here, for example, I could not find any nice library for Python that deals with this mess of XML tags in SVGs. I could run it in JavaScript on a server or maybe still in Python.

It would be nice to have a website to look for similar projects and how they defined their stack.

Thanks for your reply!
