I’ve been looking for something in this direction for some time, though I don’t think this quite does it. I really want something that helps me make decisions on tools as I enter into new fields of development. For example, I’ve been mostly a backend engineer the last 5-10 years and web development has changed a lot since I last did it before then. What are the tools, libraries, architectures, testing components, etc. that go into building modern web applications? What about the same for IoT devices?

My take on Stack Share has been that it’s trying to just get just enough eyeballs to be a viable recruiting tool. I’ve rediscovered it a few times and each time I leave disappointing because I don’t really find anything helpful.

After the last time I bumped into it, I started considering creating something to address what I’m looking for above, but I’m not sure what would motivate developers to help build this body of knowledge that I wish existed. What do you all think it takes to rally developers around creating something like this?
