HauntedStack
Why This is an Opportunity
This is the kind of tool devs would use AND talk about — the concept is instantly relatable to anyone who's worked on a legacy codebase. Simple CRUD with a fun theme that practically markets itself on dev Twitter.
Key Pain Points
- •New hire touches the 'forbidden file' on day 3 and takes down staging because nobody warned them
- •Tribal knowledge about dangerous parts of the codebase lives only in the heads of senior devs who might leave
- •Code comments say WHAT the hack does but not WHY it exists or what happens if you try to fix it
- •Onboarding docs cover the happy path but never mention the landmines
Original Discovery
Every codebase has that one file nobody wants to touch, that one deploy step that breaks randomly, that one API integration held together with prayers. HauntedStack lets dev teams mark the "haunted" parts of their codebase — tag files, endpoints, or processes with warnings, horror stories, and survival tips. New devs get a map of where the bodies are buried instead of discovering them the hard way. It's a team wiki, but specifically for the scary stuff.
