Top comment

Hey Hunters!


Roman - maker of App Stacks here 👋

I've talked to 30 founders & makers of masterfully crafted apps.

No MRRs, ARRs, funding rounds, or any of that flex. Only incredibly inspiring & insightful stories.


Last week we kicked of with a legendary lineup:

Klack by Henrik Ruscon, Bump by Amo & Antoine Martin, Abode by Joseph Smith, Kinopio by Piri, Joi by Alexey Sekachov, Experiments by Easlo, Supernotes by Tobias Whetton, Cakedesk by Maximilian Schmitt, and Queue by Eike Drescher. Coming up next are Craft by Balint Orosz and Viktor Páli, Clocks by Daniel Destefanis, Framer by Jorn van Dijk and Jurre Houtkamp, Retro by Nathan Sharp and many more.


I believe sharing these stories is a net positive.

Let’s build a better, more beautiful internet together. 🙌

Comment highlights

Congrats on launching App Stacks.
Love the idea of spotlighting the stories behind great products! Do you also dive into the tech stack choices and design decisions in each story?

Found some great storeis even of apps that I have been using,, i am glad it doesn't focus about $$ but about the makers, design and stack. How do we share about ours? @romatesla

Absolutely great product. Congrats, Roman! I'm really enjoying using APP Stacks — such a smooth and helpful experience!

Love the idea and the execution of the site. There's a ton of great tools out there and it's great to be able to get a peek behind the scenes of the people who build them. Great job @romatesla !

This is great - the start-up scene needs something like this. It's helpful to aspiring and new founders to learn about the challenges involved in launching a start-up, and it's also good exposure for the start-ups covered in the stories. The timed releases are a nice way to build anticipation and keep readers engaged. Awesome resource, congrats on the launch!

@romatesla this is sick! Between this, Droppable and Portal you’re absolutely killing it 👏

so this is content only, not using 3rd party data?

any plans to include talent or agencies in here as well? (let's say for those makers who use your designs, as an example)

App Stacks' focus on sharing the stories and stacks behind beautifully crafted apps is inspiring! It's great to learn from the insights and lessons of other creators. Well done! 😊

Congrats @romatesla I like the design. What's your idea for this project, how you got the inspiration?

Cool idea! What’s the process, say if I wanted to nominate an app or wanted to submit my own app?

I really want to list up my product later!

Thanks for building the space :)

Would be cool to see more behind-the-scenes of how design decisions evolve too.

Congrats Roman & Team! Beautiful products deserve a special place to be exposed
