Tech Stack
An inside look at HEADLINE INC’s tech stack. This page is broken down into two sections, the frontend and the backend. Unlike the commonly accepted definition of front and backend (in regards to an app or operating system), HEADLINE is using these terms to refer to the tools to build products (frontend) and the tools to build a company (backend).
Frontend
HEADLINE uses several code bases, frameworks, design systems, and compression programs to build the apps/projects that face end-users. The following list is non-exhaustive, focusing on some of the relevant tools being used right now.
