Seems that some of the most popular stash/stack type sites are not included on this site?
Also - I feel like a stash site it one of the easiest types someone can make - I know there are wordpress templates out there too. What does stashes allow someone to do that is next level?
@bentossell Hi Ben, this isn't a "stash of stashes" but rather a "build your own stash" platform. Although I suppose a stash of stash sites is rather obligatory...😉
I personally love the way links are added on Stashes.io:
Outside of creating Stashes, discovering resources curated by others is also a big part of Stashes.io. The discovery system could be improved - at the moment it is mostly through featured stashes on the front page and recommendations when browsing.
It's much easier than creating an entire WP site, something I feel not everyone may want to do, especially if your stash is of a more niche topic.
Hello everyone!
A lot of stash/stack sites have been popping up lately. These sites are mostly directory sites that hosts curated lists of great resources.
I love the idea of these "stashes" and find that they are a great way to discover and organize resources and links. I built Stashes.io as a way to allow any user to easily start their own stash, to allow them an easy way to organize and share resources for any topic. Stashes on Stashes.io can also be set as "public" stashes, meaning that you can allow other users to add to and improve your stash. I hope that in the future, we will be able to view and improve these comprehensive directories of information.
It's super simple to add items and create your own stash:
With so many of these stashes popping up, it also became hard to keep track of them. I hope that Stashes.io will allow users to easily discover resources and resource lists for any topic they may be interested in.
Thanks for checking Stashes.io out, and do let me know if you have any questions!
P.S. - Thanks a lot @eric for hunting Stashes.io!
I have already tried a earlier version and think @kohjingyu is on point with his service.
We have lists over lists spread around all the web but barely a place to go to browse random projects of a specific topic while being able to contribute in a easy way.
Kudos on this service, seeing forward to many awesome stashes :)
@bobbylicious Hey Robert, you're right. Education was one of the main areas that I felt Stashes.io would be great in. Would love to hear what your students think about it!
Awesome site. Really enjoying these stack/stash sites lately. Is there a wordpress or any other theme you guys are all using? Or is everyone just custom coding it?
This is interesting. Although, I wonder how stashes.io will avoid becoming too cluttered. Is there a way to prevent duplicated collections or stashes that are very similar? Is there some community moderation of the stashes? What happens if the same site/url is added to different stashes? Is it duplicated as well?
At first, I though it was a roll-your-own stash platform like Telescope http://www.telescopeapp.org, but it appears to be a collection of collections more than "start your own curated directory".

@carolskelly Definitely right about the clutter. Will be implementing something similar to Reddit when you try to submit a link that's already been posted - you'll be asked to confirm if you want to post it again, or you can choose to contribute to the existing stash in my case.
Currently, the only duplication handling in place is if you try to submit a link to a substash that already contains it. No handling for similar stashes yet, but that's planned.
The challenge of all these "stash" sites is maintaining quality. How will stashes.io do this? With the current lack of moderation, it could quickly become a firehose of resources.
@tweetfrog While not all stashes created will meet a certain amount of quality, only the good ones will be handpicked to be featured - the low quality ones will merely appear in the new feed which I don't think will result in too much clutter 😄
Currently no automatic moderation is in place aside from prevention of duplicate links within the same substash, but I am planning to alert users if there already exists public stashes similar to what they are trying to create that they can contribute to instead of creating a new stash.
I was really excited to see this as I've wanted to create a Stash style site for awhile. That said, is there anyway to white label the site? I was a bit disappointed to see that the Stash site you create lives under the Stashes.io umbrella. I'd happily pay a monthly fee to easily be able to create a Stash site that I could more customize and run my own ads on.
@bramk what a great idea! Crowd curated Stashes ;) I guess the biggest problem you might face is a plethora of abandoned Stashes (ie created > but not worked on..)
Perhaps you need a probation period to encourage people to populate a stash or some other reward mechanism to start populating?
@skywalker (like I said on Twitter) Thanks for checking out Stashes.io! :)
You're definitely right about the abandoned Stashes. It's been quite a prominent problem. Right now these "abandoned stashes" aren't displayed on the front page.
I don't really want to discourage people from playing with the site, but I should definitely do something to encourage them to post more. Gamification might be a great way to solve this.
