For more than 4 years now I’ve been running websites round the tech community in Scotland, and several people have talked to us about listing companies.
So this is the first version of that! Anyone can add or edit a company (all moderated).
We are already talking to people about uses for the data and are working on code to introduce tagging by technologies used. This will let people pull sub-sets of the data for use elsewhere.
We have a track record in Scotland for running https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/ to list events, and we bring to this problem the same focus on making sure the data is correct and is kept up to date. That is why we ask for email addresses from submitters (optional and private) - so we can follow up later.
Happy to hear comments or feedback, publicly here or privately at hello@jmbtechnology.co.uk
Thanks,
James
ps. The tech is that https://find.techin.scot/ is a static website served from AWS S3/CloudFront. The software that runs the directories of companies and online communities is a PHP/Symfony app and this stores the data, takes submissions and allows admins to moderate them.
Thanks for your suggestion! Just been playing with some different sans-serif and serif fonts to have a look ... not sure I like all Serif - may end up with a mix - Arial in the header and titles and a serif font in the body? Will test with some people :-)
Thanks for making this! One suggestion is it would be nice to have RSS/ATOM feeds of events (and the rest too), but I can't see any from a casual browse of the page or source.
I’m the creator of this.

( https://find.techin.scot/ also has Events, News, Twitter Lists and online communities.)
