Inspired by uses.tech, the following is a list of my personal 'stack' as of 2023-03-01.
In February 2021 I saw a hacker news that linked to Uses.Tech which is an interesting consolidation of the 'setup, gear, software, and configs' used by software developers. Each listed software developer includes a link to that developer's own hosted /uses/ page.
At first I wasn't sure how the website was able to find and consolidate all the information without any apparent schema as all the developer websites seemed to be formatted differently. I then noticed at the bottom of the Uses.tech website that a link to the Github Repo that describes what the project is and how to contribute. Sadly, there is no magic happening. I was thinking maybe a web crawler searching for an consolidating tags from all websites with a /uses/ page. It turns out folks manually submit their data via a pull request and just link to their personal website.
It's still a nifty directory and I intend to submit a PR to have my own /uses/ information included. Following is a snippet of the json that is included in the PR to have content included in the site:
