Ask HN: Trustworthy resource for choosing the right stack for a given project?

2 points by ForrestN ↗ HN
I'm not a full time developer (I run a small tech-oriented non-profit while doing most of our coding). I don't have time to keep track of the state of the art regarding languages, tools and frameworks. Googling often shows me reviews and discussions that are already 5 or more years old. I don't need super nuanced details, I just need to know I'm not investing time in learning / implementing something that's not being supported any more or has been superseded by something better and easier.

Is there a site I can go to get context for any given tool, or a recommendation for what tool to use for a certain job given certain considerations? It would be great to have one place to go in all of these situations that I know I can trust to be current and accurate.

Thank you for any help!

You can take a look in stackshare.io and see what others are using. You will probably want to look at small companies, not Twitter or GitHub.
