Hey HN! We’ve been quietly testing a new feature on StackShare over the past year where we let people ask for advice on which tool they should use in a given scenario. Stack Overflow is the best for programming questions, but they don’t allow for opinion-based discussions about which tooling to use for different use cases. HN is great too whenever there happens to be a popular Ask HN thread related to picking tools, but they're pretty infrequent.

So we built a new experience just for getting Stack Advice! To ask for advice all you need to do is describe your situation, your constraints, tag the relevant technologies, and your request gets shared with a network of thousands of developers that have used the tools you're asking about. There are some great discussions happening already, over 1,000 advice threads so far! Would love to hear everyone's feedback :)
