👋🏾 Hey PH, we’re back at it! I’ve probably said this before, but this is my single favorite product launch we’ve ever done. It’s the culmination of everything we’ve built since we launched back in 2014. The next time you need advice on which tool to use to build your app, infrastructure, or your next feature, you can use StackShare to ask our community of over 500K developers, engineers, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering from around the globe. Stack Advice is the evolution of Stack Decisions- just describe your situation and constraints, tag the appropriate tools, and we’ll send out your request to the community and they’ll be able to respond in a threaded discussion.
This has been in Beta for the past year as we’ve (very) slowly and carefully tested and tweaked the mechanics of how it all works, so we’re excited to finally release this. There are now over 1,000 Stack Advice discussions using this new feature, thanks to the over 500 StackSharers who’ve taken time out of the days (and nights) to help a developer in need 🙏🏾
People asking for advice range from students just getting started on their programming journey to experienced CTOs looking to scale existing systems, and that’s what’s so exciting. This is a feature everyone can use regardless of their experience level, and there’s literally no right answer to someone’s request for advice. That’s why we’re not calling this Q&A, there is no answer, only perspectives from people that have used those technologies. More than happy to dive into the nitty gritty details of the mechanics if people are interested :) Would love to hear everyone’s feedback! 🚀
I've learned about a lot of awesome new tools via StackShare. This adds a whole new aspect to discovering solutions I didn't even know exist. Next time I need to make a decision, I'll def try out asking on StackShare!

@sarath_rajan thanks Sarath! Excited for you to try it out!
Congrats Yonas & team! Technology decisions are daunting 😅 , but the right piece of advice at the right time can make all the difference. It has for me many times in my career, so I'm excited to contribute advice & pay that forward. I'll also be asking advice on what I don't know yet.

@dzello you're amazing! Thanks so much for already giving out some advice, I think there's a TON that people can learn from all your experience 🙏🏾
Great idea! Like Stack Overflow for stack decisions.

@idris_mokhtarzada exactly! This is basically pre-Stack Overflow; before you start coding, figure out what you're gonna use :)

Looking for information in a vast search engine has become more of a nuisance as data keeps growing. Hopefully this will concentrate the stack doubts and solutions people may have and be of great use for our community. Thanks!

@adrian_volcinschi yup, there's a lot of content out there. Our goal is to ultimately have the best use-case info whenever you're looking for a specific solution. Excited for you to try it out!
@stackshareio@mikeendale thanks a lot for giving out advice Mike, you're the man! Just like I was saying to @dzello, there's a lot people can learn from you and other experienced technical founders :)
