Pick a topic. Any topic you already care about — the places you'd send a friend to, the podcast episodes you've recommended twice, the things you'd put in a "best of" list if someone asked. That topic is your first stack.
Step one: create the stack
Click the + button in the top-right corner.
Select Create New Stack.
Give it a name. Short and specific works best: "Best Vietnamese in Atlanta" beats "Food."
Add a one-line description if it helps someone else understand what it is.
Click Save.
Step two: add three cards
A stack isn't really a stack until it has a few cards in it.
Open the stack.
Click Add card.
Paste a URL — any URL. Stacklist pulls in the title, description, and image automatically.
Save, and repeat twice more.
Three cards is enough to see the shape of it. You can keep adding whenever you find something that fits.
Step three: share it
Once your stack has a few cards, it's worth sharing.
Click the three dots on your stack.
Select Share Stack.
Copy the link and send it to anyone. They don't need a Stacklist account to view it.
That's the whole loop: create, add, share. Everything else in Stacklist — tags, workspaces, AI tools, profile features — builds on this.
