"2. Yelp for business services"
Take it three steps further. I want to know what tools of all types other developers are using. I'm a game developer want to browse what other studios are actually using and sort based on developer size, time, and more.
For example what do people use for Source Control? Small devs probably use Git or SVN. Show a time trend and SVN likely trends down and Git way way up. Large devs will almost exclusively use Perforce. I want to see this data for EVERYTHING. Text editors, modeling packing, memory managers, build tools, databases, profilers, and so so much more. There are dozens of amazing, wonderful tools/middleware/things out there that I don't even know exist.
This can naturally be expanded outside of software development, but I'm greedy and want to use it for myself first and foremost. :)
- kapilkale 15y agoYes, this would be awesome, particularly the time plot.
- forrestthewoods 15y agoSo many amazing things could be done. The ideal situation is one in which users can quickly and efficiently mark all tools they use and also get them to update that list every ~6 months. It would integrate nicely with Stack Exchange network I think.
- kooshball 15y agohttp://osx.iusethis.com/ http://osx.iusethis.com/ is somewhat like this. you can see the most popular tools in different categories. they dont have a timeline view. appfresh also has integration with this, where you can check the tools you need and also update them.
