I got the impression that the Stacks platform is rather underrated. The design considerations seem very reasonable, and once it matures enough for the mainnet to be used in production, it could very well outperform other smart contract platforms.
One thing I noticed when getting started is that it’s rather inconvenient to find relevant information. Browsing through the documentation frequently leads to 404 errors, and information seems to be walled behind proprietary platforms like Discord.
So I’m starting to work on a free resource. In the spirit of the “Mastering Bitcoin” or “Mastering Ethereum” books, this is supposed to become a reference book:

It’s a copyleft product, so feedback and pull requests will of course be appreciated.
