What we're working on right now.
A snapshot of where Stackmaven stands — current phase, latest reviews, and what's being drafted next.
Phase 2 — Catalog depth and news cadence
Phase 1 (scaffold and seed) shipped. We're now growing the catalog toward reference depth, building the daily-refresh workflow that keeps entries from rotting, and starting the news cadence that makes the catalog a publication, not a directory.
- Phase 2 · Catalog depth
Build catalog coverage to the level where the recommender can do useful work. Target: every category populated with editorial picks before the recommender ships.
- v1.0 · Stack recommender
Describe what you're building, get back a recommended stack with every choice linked to a catalog entry. Free tier rate-limited; Pro unlimited with extended depth and private stacks.
- Ongoing · Follow-up scorecards
The 30/60/90-day scorecards on every launch article are the moat. As articles accumulate, the scorecards become the second wave of editorial work that competitors don't do.
Free stays useful on its own — the catalog, news, and stack recommender are not paywalled. Pro is for people running multiple projects who want Stackmaven to track their stack, not just the catalog.
- Project shelves and tool watchlist
Save the stacks you actually run, with private notes on what worked, what it cost, and what you'd change next time. Tag the tools you depend on and get alerted when one ships a breaking change, raises prices, gets acquired, or earns a
deprecatedlabel. - Cross-project cost modeling
Plug in usage tiers for every project on one screen. See where you're one tier away from a price jump, where line items overlap across projects, and what your stack actually costs at 10× MRR.
- Subscriber briefs and early scorecards
Quarterly State-of-the-Category long-form briefs — the depth a single catalog page can't carry. Plus 30/60/90-day follow-up scorecards land for Pro readers a week before they go public.
