#32This is pretty cool. There was a service a while back which seems to have died called weusethis. It also had interviews with the engineers at the startups detailing how they used their tech stacks.
I think you are referring to: http://weusethat.com

#33This should be 'See what services the best startups in the world are using'.

Yeah, the use of the word "stack" in the domain is a bit inaccurate.

#36I'm sorry, but can we stop calling these startups?
Companies like Twitter, eBay, GitHub, Mozilla, Netflix and Atlassian are past the startup stage by now. Many of them have been market leaders for years.
Calling Intuit a startup isn't even stretching it anymore. They're 30 years old and have a revenue of over $4B.
I realize HN thinks startups are sexy, but these have no business being labeled startups. If Intuit is a startup, what does it take to be a called a mature company?
Re: Show HN: See what the best startups in the world are using
#37Many of these companies are not "startups" anymore. Fir example, Ebay ?
I agree. Calling Intuit a startup is like calling USPS an up and coming disrupting force in the mailing business.

#38We are working on something similar at StartHQ. In addition to listing which services any given company uses, we've also been thinking of listing the technologies the services themselves use, e.g. https://starthq.com/apps/?technology=mongodb Is this something you'd find useful?
Interesting yes. Useful.....not so much.
The ability to view a company's stack changes over time might prove more useful. For example, what stack did Company X use to get to 10k users, 100k users etc.
Given enough accurate data then it may be possible for a visitor to predict any performance bottlenecks that a technology may enforce over time and what technologies to use to mitigate said problems.

#39Getting a lot of 503's, please fix the problem. Seems another website not being able to handle HN 1st page traffic.
Sorry everyone. Just switched to nearlyfreespeech, thought they could handle it. Trying to work through it now.
What kind of things are you running there? I have some small not so important sites on NearlyFreeSpeech and have been happy -- would be nice to hear about their limits.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
I usually make more sure than 'most of x is y' before I claim certain things. This is just hipsterism. Ebay, LinkedIn, Mozilla? Are you kidding? While in New York I went to some networking events where people said 'I work for a startup', 'How long have you guys been around?', '4 years', 'That doesn't really sound like a startup.', 'I know, but we FEEL like a startup.'... A*holes.
Well, 70% (which implies "most") or more of the companies listed on LeanStack are startups, I don't understand what your definition of Startup is.
He said many. I agree with him: Intuit, Twitter, eBay, GitHub, Mozilla, Netflix and Atlassian are hardly startups. And this list is by no means exhaustive.
Sure, many others may be startups, perhaps even most. But since when do we generalize away ~30% of some population. That's not very scientific. I can't think of many scenario's where this would be acceptable.
