What is a Card?

A Card is the fundamental building block of Stacklist. It represents a single saved item—whether it’s a link, a note, a product, a place, or anything else you want to remember. Each card can include a title, description, tags, and images to make it easy to recall and organize.

Think of a card as a bookmark with superpowers—rich with context and easy to categorize.

What is a Stack?

A Stack is a collection of cards grouped together based on a theme, topic, or purpose. You can create stacks for anything:

• Your favorite travel spots

• A reading list of must-read articles

• A collection of design inspiration

• A curated set of productivity tools

Stacks can be private, shared, or public, allowing you to keep them to yourself, collaborate with friends, or share them with the world.

What is a List?

A List is simply a way to display or arrange stacks. It allows you to organize multiple stacks under a broader category. For example, you might have a List called “My Business Resources,” which contains multiple stacks such as “Marketing Tools,” “Funding Resources,” and “Startup Advice.”

Example Lists (Collections of related Stacks)

How They Work Together

1. Save a Card → Add a link, note, or item to Stacklist.

2. Organize into Stacks → Group related cards together in a themed collection.

3. Arrange into Lists → Display stacks in a structured way for easy access.

By using Cards, Stacks, and Lists effectively, you can turn scattered online content into well-organized, shareable collections that help you and your network discover and recall valuable information effortlessly.
