I am looking to create similar tool to AlternativeTo. This would list different brands and why you should or should not buy them. Is there some software that would be great starting point for creating this kind of service?
I would guess wiki apps would work for this, but like wikijs, but interested to hear is the something else that could be used for this.
you should allow the tracking of UPC codes as well. this would allow a mobile app to be used in-store far easier than by product name.
Maybe in the future, but my goal for this site is to just list brands and not individual products.
