About StackCurio

A little curiosity can go a long way.

There are thousands of software tools and products for people working in tech, with new ones appearing all the time. Some offer interesting capabilities. Others approach familiar problems in ways you might not have considered. And plenty are easy to miss unless you happen to come across them.

That's why I started StackCurio.

I wanted a place to follow that curiosity and share what I learn along the way.

Not an exhaustive directory or a ranking of the best products. Just a personal selection of things I think are worth knowing about.

Behind StackCurio

Hi, I'm Neil.

I've worked in technology for more than 20 years, across software engineering, enterprise architecture and technical pre-sales.

Over that time, I've worked with a wide range of technologies, products and organisations. One thing I've always enjoyed is discovering new tools, understanding how they work and figuring out where they might be useful.

With StackCurio, I hope to help other people working in tech discover things they might not have come across otherwise, and decide whether they're worth exploring further.

The approach

How StackCurio works

Every product on StackCurio starts with a simple question: is there something here that other technology professionals might find useful or interesting?

It might solve a familiar problem in a different way, offer a useful capability or simply be something I think more people should know exists.

I research what the product does, the problems it helps solve, who might benefit and what you should consider before looking further.

The aim is to make that information straightforward, practical and easy to understand.

Let's keep discovering.

If you're looking for a particular kind of software, have a question about something I've featured or have come across a product you think I should investigate, I'd be interested to hear from you.
