AppliedStacks.com - Web Development Powered By Wiki

Applied Stacks is a structured wiki dealing with the software systems and tools used to build specific websites. That is, it can be thought of as a unified/centralized variant of the 'Powered By X' or 'Build using Y' lists on specific languages and web frameworks that make up the World Wide Web as a whole.

More than 16,000 websites are already documented, so that it can be said that a lot of ground is covered, and designs ranging far and wide can be found and perused.

For the causal user, the site acts as a valuable reference dealing with the software components used to drive various websites, both large and small. For users who are passionate about their favorite set of tools, the site provides a platform for what the team terms 'Advocacy by Example' whereby users can promote their favorite language, framework, or other tools by actually building something useful or interesting with it.

All in all, Applied Stacks is your one-stop destination when it comes to seeing the system behind any site on the Net, and for sharing your knowledge with the world at large by submitting your very own website.

“Ever seen a great site and wondered what was used to build it? Applied Stacks shows you exactly that. We've put together a structured wiki to document the tools behind specific sites. Think a unified version of the powered by lists that are scattered across the web. By providing a singular reference, we hope to help make all developers more aware of the diverse set of productive languages, libraries, frameworks and other tools.”

The site provides an excellent and dynamic way of learning how the web is structured, and how to come up with a top design yourself by learning from the very best.

How many sites are usually added per day?
