That's to increase the likelihood that the person is a native English speaker and also for timezone- anything > 3 hour time difference won't work (UK for example).

yonasb··on How to search for a commit message in GitHub?
I use SourceTree almost exclusively for this feature. They allow you to search any commit message in a repo. Such a hidden gem.

yonasb··on BehindTheSite: A log of web technology stacks
Full disclosure: Keen is a promoted service on StackShare, StackShare is a customer of Keen.

We use Keen IO for all our user metrics. Specifically their CommonWeb library https://github.com/keen/common-web, which automatically tracks clicks, pageviews, form submits and a few other actions. Keen has been great for us, particularly because we don't yet know exactly what we want to track, it's constantly changing. So having one place that houses all our events then being able to query that as we see fit and build dashboards (http://keen.github.io/dashboards/) has been really helpful. You can see some more feedback from other people here: http://stackshare.io/keen-io.

yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
StackShare has even more tools and services than Leanstack did, with more ways to discover them. Perhaps our messaging needs some work. StackShare is still very much about finding the best tools: http://stackshare.io/mobile-a-b-testing. Would love to hear your feedback, shoot me an email if you're up for it: yonas [at] stackshare.io.

EDIT: Just noticed you're behind Virtkick. Funny enough we just listed you last night: http://stackshare.io/virtkick

yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
Glad you asked! We started off filling it out for the popular startups, which eventually created the desire for others to join in and do it themselves (hence the rebranding from Leanstack.io to StackShare).

Regarding your suggestion, every page has this tab: http://stackshare.io/stackshare/stackshare/details. This feature was released today so not many stacks have the details just yet. But we'll be highlighting companies every week and having them fill this out, so stay tuned! Also, feel free to share your stack :)

yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
Thanks! Some stacks have more info than others for sure. The quality of the data will get better as more companies claim their pages and verify their stack (e.g. http://stackshare.io/mailgun/mailgun). For stacks that are not verified, we're inviting users to be community moderators and contributors to these pages to beef up the citations :)
yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
Sorry about that. We gather metrics on site usage so we can monitor how people are using the site. We're looking into a fix.
yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
Thanks for the feedback, will do! Currently, you have to add them to a stack or contribute/vote on content on their page. We'll definitely look into making that easier.
yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
Sorry! Do you have javascript disabled? If so, you'll have a very hard time using the site because of how we're tracking events.
yonasb··on Show HN: StackShare – discover and discuss software stacks
Yes! That has been a requested feature for quite some time so we added it: http://stackshare.io/parse/parse (more here: http://stackshare.io/stacks). A lot of the non-verified stacks have citations, so even if someone didn't post their stack you can see where the info came from.

Eh, sorry. Should be fixed now. Try pasting in the URL

We wrote a blog post about the relaunch: http://stackshare.io/posts/leanstack-io-is-now-stackshare. We should probably link to the post on the homepage though.
yonasb··on Show HN: A mostly complete 2014 "Tools of the Trade"
Thanks! Self-selecting for categories could get tricky because we're regularly creating and deleting categories as we see fit. We'd rather stay on top of that than put the burden on vendors. But we usually do make edits if a vendor asks.
yonasb··on Show HN: A mostly complete 2014 "Tools of the Trade"
Nice job Chris! If anyone wants to see feedback from other developers about these tools, the majority of them are on http://leanstack.io/popular (disclaimer: Founder of Leanstack.io here).

Facebook, Asana, Path and handful of other companies use Phabricator, primarily for code review: http://leanstack.io/phabricator. Also, Gitorious and Beanstalk are a couple of other options for code hosting (http://leanstack.io/code-collaboration-version-control).

yonasb··on [dead]
Totally agree. Most of these sites are not going to be helpful for a generic startup launch. I run Leanstack.io which is on the list for some reason, but it's definitely not the place to "submit your launching startup."
