The Hack Stack is place where you can list any cool products that you've either discovered, or made. It's designed to be meritocratic and free of distractions / clutter. It's just about the products.

I understand and expect that people will want to ask "how is this different to Product Hunt". Firstly, I love Product Hunt and have been a daily visitor (multiple times daily) for many many years. The Hack Stack is different in a couple of key ways. 1) Meritocracy. The homepage isn't curated. Every product listed will appear on the homepage and there is even a "random hack" section right at the top of the page (on desktop versions) where every single product in the database will get an equal chance of getting exposure (random product on every page load). I will of course remove spam / offensive listings but other than that everything has an equal chance of being seen. 2) Focus. The Hack Stack is just about the products. There are no follower counts, comment upvotes, adverts, job boards, random upsells, communities etc. It's just a place you can find cool products. That's it. 3) A very minor point but the refresh cycle is weekly rather than daily. Obviously anyone can list a product but any marketing and push will be towards the Indie Hacker / Maker community. I have no need to monetise this project. It's a labour of love dedicated to makers and early adopters everywhere.

@mickc79 - congrats on the launch, and thanks for the Tiny Talk shout-out on your screenshots!! Tiny Talk was on Product Hunt last week: https://www.producthunt.com/post... .... although I couldn't help but notice that you didn't up-vote Tiny Talk on HackStack... :)

@douq haha honestly man... I'm heavily introverted. Apart from the fact that I don't have any friends, the thought of an imposed 7 minute conversation on a one to one basis sounds like my idea of hell 😂

@mickc79 hahah, fair enough... though TBH I am similarly introverted, and so the 7-minute hard cap on conversations has been a game changer for me personally. Anyways, probably not for everyone -- congrats again on the launch!! =)
