This Page is Under Construction

Adastack is still in development, so this page's content is not available quite yet.
To help expedite the site's development and get resources on every page, consider supporting our proposal in Catalyst Fund 12! 🙏
Adastack is a wide-ranging collection of 100+ pages of Cardano resources. The site is designed to be beginner-friendly, community-focused, carefully organized, SEO-ready, and open source.

Website Features

Here we provide further detail about the key features of the website:

Comprehensive — Once all inital content is added there will be 1500+ Cardano tools and links on 100+ resource pages. See a sample resource page: Blockchain Explorers (opens in a new tab).
Carefully Organized — The website will start with 14 main categories that collectively encompass nearly all of the Cardano ecosystem. The site's architecture is designed flexibly so the site can grow and adapt as new areas of Cardano emerge.
Open-Source — Adastack.io is fully open-source (opens in a new tab) under the MIT license (opens in a new tab), allowing anyone can view, copy, or suggest modifications to the code. We actively engage in the Cardano community and will incorporate feedback and suggestions. Contributions help the website stay up-to-date and accurate.
Fast — The website is designed for speed, utilizing a popular and modern technology stack of React, Next.js, Tailwind, Markdown, and Git/Github. It also uses the Nextra theme (opens in a new tab), which is favored for large documentation websites including Cardano's Aiken (opens in a new tab) and Demeter.run (opens in a new tab). The theme is suitable for Adastack because it has optimized search, simple navigation, excellent readability, and allows for easy contributions.
SEO-Optimized — The site's content is optimized for search engines to help increase its ranking on search. Custom meta-titles and meta-descriptions are added for each page to boost search engine visibility. The site also uses a service called indexed.pro (opens in a new tab) to automatically submit the site to Google after any change to ensure that the freshest content is always used. Ultimately Adastack should help improve search results in general for Cardano queries on search engines and LLMs.
Quickly Searchable — Adastack uses FlexSearch (opens in a new tab), a search tool that pre-indexes all content for real-time search results in the website's search bar.
Open metrics — Plausible, a privacy-focused analytics service, is used to collect anonymous visitor metrics over time. This helps to gauge site performance and engagement over time. These metrics are publicly accessible on the site's Plausible Dashboard (opens in a new tab).
Onboarding Guides — The website features over 10 guides designed to educate newcomers about foundational Cardano topics and help them get started using the chain. These guides cover essential topics such as What is Blockchain? (opens in a new tab), Start Using Cardano (opens in a new tab), How to Start Staking (opens in a new tab), and more.
Contributions are Encouraged — Each page on the site has an "edit this page" button that directs users to the GitHub web interface to submit a contribution. This straightforward process welcomes all users, regardless of technical expertise, to enhance the site by adding resources or improving content.
Responsive — The site is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes, ensuring its usability on desktops, tablets, phones, and other devices.
Niche Categorization — Resources are organized into precise and refined categories so people searching can find a page that exactly corresponds to their search. For example, rather than a general category such as "Cardano Social Media," adastack has subcategory pages such as "YouTube", "Twitter", "Podcasts", "Newsletters", "Forums and Reddit", and "Telegram".
Long-term Vision — I view this project as an experiment where I can contribute to Cardano, observe the growth of the ecosystem, and learn some new development skills. Even after the conclusion of Catalyst I plan to continue being involved with the project and expanding it as time allows. In any case, the site can be continued, forked, or repurposed by anyone since it is open-source.
