24 alternatives to I built a web app where you can see what tools indiehackers are using
Hi everyone! We all agree that the dev stack to build a project does not matter that much, it's usually best to build with the tools we already know and feel comfortable with. But when it comes to payment tools, design, email marketing, SEO, hosting, there's a lot we can learn by seeing what others are using. I built RamenTools for this purpose, and you can already see what tools are being used by 120+ indiehackers. RamenTools can also recommend you what tools to use with a specific tool, based on other makers' usage. Whether you are an indie maker, designer, marketer or any type of digital…

StackScope▲120Hey all, I built StackScope, a crawler/catalogue that looks at new product launches and shows what they were built with. It watches launches from Product Hunt, Show HN, and PeerPush, then crawls the public site behind each one. The goal is to show what people actually launched with: hosting, frameworks, analytics, DNS, security headers, legal pages, AI-builder signals, and other public clues.
