Save and share cards

How to save your first card, customize it, and share it.

Written by Kyle Hudson

A card is a saved link. Paste a URL and Stacklist handles the rest — title, description, image, all pulled in automatically. You add context: notes, tags, and the stack it belongs in.

Save a card on the web

  1. Log in at stacklist.app.

  2. Click Create New in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Add New Card.

  4. Paste or type a URL into the Website field.

  5. Stacklist pulls in the page's metadata — title, description, preview image.

  6. Customize before saving: - Title — edit or keep the auto-filled version. - Description — add your notes, context, or recommendation. - Image — use the auto-pulled one or upload your own. - Tags — add tags to find this card later (#recipes, #travel, #read-later). - Stack — use the Add Card to Stack dropdown to file it somewhere.

Don't worry about getting everything right at save time. Cards are easy to edit later.

Save a card from anywhere — the browser extension

The fastest way to save is from the page you're already looking at.

  1. Install the Stacklist extension. Available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

  2. Pin it to your browser toolbar.

  3. On any page you want to save, click the Stacklist icon.

  4. Review the auto-filled details, add tags, pick a stack, click Save.

Share a single card

Each card has its own URL. To share one card without sharing the whole stack:

  1. Open the card.

  2. Click Share (or copy the URL from your browser).

  3. Send the link.

Most of the time you'll share entire stacks instead — it's more useful to a recipient. But single-card sharing is handy for "here's the one I was telling you about."

A few tips

  • Tag as you save. Adding tags at save time means you won't go back and retag later.

  • One card, many stacks. The same card can live in multiple stacks. A good restaurant fits in "Atlanta favorites" and "Date night ideas."

  • Start rough. Save the link now; clean up the description later.
