As answered by people managing StackHive and How Makers Build.
How Makers Build's answer:
Every "used by" on the site links to a source you can open — a maker's own words, the product's public code, its website and DNS, its subprocessor list or its job postings — strongest evidence first. It is organised by decision (database, auth, hosting, payments, LLM APIs …), not by vendor, and prices each option at your scale.
How Makers Build's answer:
StackShare relies on stacks people declare themselves; BuiltWith and Wappalyzer only see what a browser loads and are built for sales prospecting. How Makers Build combines detection with makers' own words, code and legal disclosures, shows which tools products like yours chose for each decision, what they cost at launch, traction and scale, and which way developers are switching. Free, no sign-up.
How Makers Build's answer:
Indie makers, solo founders and small teams (under ten people) building a web SaaS or AI app, choosing or re-checking their stack.
How Makers Build's answer:
Astro (static site), TypeScript and Zod; a Node.js data pipeline that collects evidence from Product Hunt, GitHub, websites and DNS, subprocessor lists and job boards; hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
