I've been collecting these resources in an excel file and figured others may be interested them. Site is a little rough. I started it yesterday. While yellow pages isn't quite right, it sort of explains the idea. Books, twitter accounts, blogs, tools, etc. Just helpful resources that I have had trouble finding all in one place. I'm open to feedback. It was a bored-friday and two-beers-idea that I thought might be interesting."\ Hopefully you can find something helpful you haven't seen previously! Email is on the bottom of the webpage if you'd like to reach out!
Yep, nicer css is definitely in the pipeline. I'm a mobile & backend developer by trade, but have learned enough css to help me get the job almost done. Still working on the design skills though.
And you can technically 'save' a resource by clicking the star and then going to your profile, if that's kinda what you mean by a startup stack. None of this is real clear at the moment though, I probably need better user-coaching on that.
Incubators would be a great next step! Would love to hear any other ideas.
http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators has a pretty exhaustive and useful list of all the international incubators/accelerators with some metrics. You can point to it as a resource.
Thats a great idea! I've actually messed around with it a little bit and could get the capabilities in there fairly easy. With me just working on it yesterday, I wanted to roll out with a small feature set and see if people actually liked it.
Shameless plug: I built http://hackertoolbox.herokuapp.com/ a week ago. One of the goal is that "Any hackers wanting to build some new stuff would better check this toolbox. If there is one satisfying your needs, then don't reinvent the wheel unless you have good reasons." Interested in joining forces? Anyway, I am adding your site to the toolbox :)

My company, CB Insights, is involved in this industry so folks who join our team are given the following on-boarding reading list which may be useful - https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/tech-reading-list/
Look forward to seeing how your side project evolves.
I recommend adding Traction (http://tbook.us) to the book list (and possibly removing Gladwell -- Traction is much more helpful if you're starting a company).
Cool, I'll check it out and put it on my list! I've read all the books on the current list, that was sort of my starting point. I think I use almost everything on the site, with the exception of a few tools. Some of the books don't necessarily pertain to startups, but I felt they had value in the message they were delivering. Outliers is generally loved/hated and, while the science behind his data is lacking, I still like the message of hope and perseverance it delivers. Thanks for the suggestion though! Keep them coming!
I haven't used Slack personally because I haven't really had a need to. From what I've read, it has some amazing integrations. Seems almost like magic the way it works. If you get the chance to check it out, you really should.
Integrations for one. We have all kinds of stuff posting to ours at work including bitbucket activity, new documents on Google drive and application notification.
I can try and do that here in the next few days. I'm a little swamped with design and suggestions at the moment. If you could email me at: nicksstartups@gmail.com that would be fantastic!
