I'm not sure I would characterize this as boring stuff so much as only like a third of the picture. When the article was titled "tech stacks" I was hoping to learn about the actual tech stacks, not just the front end stuff. Like what's actually answering the HTTPS requests? nginx? Apache? Node? Passenger? Tomcat? What's the DB system? What OS? Heck even from front end we're missing who's using Angular, who's using Ember, who's using Bootstrap, etc. I wouldn't have titled this "Tech Stacks". Maybe "marketing and analytics software."

That's exactly what my point was. I was anticipating a bit more in depth analysis beyond a few third party services everyone uses.

  "I was anticipating a bit more in depth analysis beyond a few third party services everyone uses." Valid point, write something up. Submit it.

FWIW their Chrome extension (free to try) does seem to detect Bootstrap consistently, but front end frameworks were hit or miss depending on the site for me. Still the amount it does uncover quickly is impressive. https://www.datanyze.com/insider https://www.datanyze.com/insider
