DAGs are better than lists for modeling tech stacks

This is part of a series I’m writing while building StackDAG, a tool for designing and sharing application stacks using DAGs. You can try the beta here: https://stackdag.pages.dev/, and join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/VqwqHmg5fn.

I’ve just launched StackDAG at https://stackdag.pages.dev/ into public beta, which is a platform for building and sharing application stacks using Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). You can model anything from a traditional PERN stack (React, Express, Node.js, PostgreSQL) to a completely custom workflow using a flexible, visual DAG editor.

During the beta, you’ll get access to:

  • DAG templates to get started fast Selecting a DAG template
  • A broad set of components to build any stack Adding a new component
  • Sharing and forking tools to collaborate or remix ideas Sharing levels
  • A feed of trending DAGs from the community Forking a DAG

You’re invited to join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/VqwqHmg5fn That’s where I’ll be mainly sharing updates and collecting feedback.

If you join during this beta phase, your account will be marked as a beta tester (you’ll keep that role in Discord too), and you’ll get early access to premium features as they roll out in future releases.

This is the best time to get involved. I’m very open to feedback during this stage, so if you have thoughts or ideas, this is your chance to make your mark, as there will be frequent updates!

Thanks for checking it out!
