Show HN: StackHound - Stop guessing repo's tech stack, analyze it in seconds
stackhound.vercel.appIf you’ve ever explored GitHub repos and felt frustrated by how little you can tell about a project’s real tech stack — you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why I built StackHound https://www.producthunt.com/posts/stackhound
It goes beyond the GitHub API to scan dependency files and uncover the actual tools, frameworks, and languages a repo uses — whether it's built with React, Next.js, Tailwind, Flask, or Spring Boot.
Just drop in a GitHub username and repo to analyze it instantly. You can also use our /api/analyze endpoint to plug it into your own tools.

Would love to hear your thoughts — what features would make StackHound even more useful for you?
I tried it on https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype and it just said ESLint and Prettier which doesn't describe much. It probably would work properly if it worked recursively or at least checked the first directories. I like the website and api option though.
I cannot say I have had the experience you describe. Most repos describe their stack clearly, or you can figure it out easily enough. Is it really a common problem for you?
