Ask IH: How "Big" is your Technology Stack?

As part of as some research I am conducting for my side project (https://www.stackr.app/), would anyone be willing to share the total number of apps/web tools they use for their current side project?

Include development, productivity, finance, operations, etc... related tools.

I am trying to figure out the average number of technologies IHs use to build projects.

I have about 18 for this project myself: Here is my current stack: https://www.stackrapp.com/organization/31/public

  1. 1

    Damien, this is a good question and I'd be happy to respond but can you please make it a bit easier for me? I am envisioning a list of apps/webtools I can check off of. I had a few a-ha moments while reading your list, apps I'd have not remembered to list...

    1. 1

      That's actually my stack :) How many do you think you use (broad estimate)?

      Can i ask you how do you keep track of the apps you use?

        I understand that it is your stack :D

        Probably the best collection I have is through LastPass :D My husband handles part of the apps, that's why I had the a-ha moments. But also, the apps that are not paid are more out of mind (Google Analytics for example).

        The total might be somewhere in the 20-30 range, lower end. Higher, if we count the one-time or not regular-use apps like Logojoy.
