There's also http://builtwith.com , but that's also specifically for sales leads.


I should probably add themes and/or improve some of the contrast to improve readability. Good point.


Thanks!


I wish it didnt do that too. I need to improve the search/filter support. Need to implement typeahead. pen to other suggestions.


Part of the goal was to condense the infomration to allow viewing companies side by side or quick browsing. I need to improve the search/filter to support that better though, and probably add a few more visual elements.


Thanks for the post. Any feedback is appreciated! The site started out as a way for myself to keep track of technologies and usage I read about. After a while using markdown didnt work. Excel worked well but wanted to share what I found as well and a open google sheets doc didnt feel right :)


Assume you are referring to the mix of front end frameworks. That does look pretty funny, but the BBC uses different front-end frameworks on different parts of their site - some have been getting rebuilt with new while others were built a while ago.

eg. angular.js is used on the CMS side - Curation Kit, React JS is used on the new BBC Mobile Homepage, and ExtJS is used on their shop - http://shop.bbc.com/us/page/home. Mousing over should reveal some of the notes per technology - I could probably make that info easier to find.


Not just that, but 10+ different ad and analytics providers, and no fewer than five backend languages (PHP, Node, Java, Ruby, Scala). I'm being sort of unfair, as the BBC is a large, diverse organization that has been around for a long time, and I would be surprised if any one person has to deal with all of the listed technologies. It just happened to be the first of several large and redundant "full stacks" listed on an obnoxious-to-navigate site.
