I've been collecting a list of products, services or useful github projects that I find from day to day, since I can imagine them being useful for a project, either in work or otherwise.
I've been thinking about categorising the list and adding metadata and sharing it.
Leading on from this, I can picture a tool for people to get suggestions on what to use for their next product with filters such as "can you code", "small/no budget" and "I want to send texts" or "I need to authenticate users".
Would anyone find that useful?
I doubt that somebody here would say otherwise :)
Sounds cool. It should give you the oportunity to select what you already know (languages, paradigms) and then suggest something closer to your skills .
If you are non-develop - then easy to use visual tools to build the app/site
Thanks. I'll have to think what the paradigms and filters might be at first, try and keep it simple
Building on this, should provide resources such as tutorials as well.
I love this idea, could really help at a glance see how a tool could be used. Thanks!
What would be the criteria to select? Everybody wants it most cheap, stable, popular etc.
For what types of systems: CRM, Accounting, ERP, Mobile...?
For which domains: e-commerce, telco, banking...?
This all will define who and how can potentially use it.
Good questions. I'm thinking mainly of what I know, so web applications, APIs, mostly for early stage or small/medium projects. "What I know" leaves a lot to be defined. Need to think a bit more on that. Thanks!
I would niche down to start, cause I think your tool sounds almost too broad to be useful. A comparison of different text sending services/ user auth services would be more useful to me (and probably more SEOable) than a super generic tool that's targeting devs and non-devs. Good luck with it!
Thanks for the idea. I'm not sure yet how much of a comparison I'd do or how much detail. I guess a niche would allow me to spend a bit more time on each tool for a bit of depth.
