Ask HN: Which apps tell you about which shoulders of giants they stand on

I'm thinking about apps that tell you what their stack is (in newsletters, landing pages, support docs, etc.)—bonus points for apps that rely heavily on open source and are proud of it.

For web apps, see https://stackshare.io/

For many desktop apps, if you go into Help > About, you'll see a list of all the open source libraries used, and their associated licenses (as required by the license).

In Chrome, go to chrome://credits/

Thanks! I knew about Stackshare. Mainly curious about apps that share this stuff on their own website (inspired by https://buttondown.com/stack that I just stumbled across)
