The Idaho Stack covers Idaho technology news, analysis, sector briefings, company discovery, public infrastructure, and community-sourced field intelligence from people close to the work.
Idaho is often covered through politics, growth, housing, public land, and tourism. Those matter. But the state also sits inside major technology stories: memory chips, nuclear energy, agriculture technology, broadband deployment, repair rights, software, AI adoption, workforce training, and small-business systems.
The Idaho Stack exists to document that layer clearly, using public sources, reported analysis, interviews, company mapping, sector hubs, and field notes from operators. Field notes are part of the evidence stream; the publication’s larger job is to turn scattered signals into serious Idaho technology coverage.
The publication is built by Samuel Torres in Hailey, Idaho. Samuel runs Hailey Device Repair and Actrix, and is using this project to document Idaho’s technology economy through reporting, analysis, interviews, field notes, company discovery, and public-source research.
The Idaho Stack follows technology where it touches Idaho systems: semiconductor manufacturing, nuclear and energy, broadband and public infrastructure, agriculture technology, water, repair and hardware, small-business AI, workforce training, and the companies turning those constraints into products or services.
Browse sector desks →Coverage starts with public records, source links, meeting packets, company materials, interviews, field notes, and practical operator experience. When something is announced, funded, permitted, hiring, under construction, producing, or verified in operation, we try to say which stage it is in.
Read the standards →The publication is statewide, but being based in Hailey is part of the lens. Idaho technology is not only a Boise office story. It is also rural connectivity, repair access, resort-town labor, public infrastructure, farms, schools, energy, and small operators trying to make systems work far from the loudest market.
