Hello! Tom and I were the product leads on Stacks. It's the first product from Offset, the digital studio at MOO. Here's a short blog post: https://medium.com/offset-hq/int...
Making Stacks is invite only at the moment. Want to try it out? Request one on the site, and ping me! I'll send one your way.
Happy to answer any questions too.
Curious to know why there isn't a direct link out for each item in a stack? (I like to open a bunch of links from a page into new tabs and then flick through them)
@j_greig Hey James. We went back and forth on this decision, and in fact a bunch of the early designs have the links under item names: http://cl.ly/aLHF (As well as tags on them, but that's another story...)
Ultimately, it was a decision based on wanting to keep the stacks as clean as possible, but just today, we were discussing whether we should bring the links back. I suppose we will!
Thanks @wanghq. I think it was Victor Hugo who said you can't fight an idea whose time has come. Perhaps this is one such idea.
I think your collection is really interesting, mainly because the language is very much around hackers, startups and building things.
In terms of where Stacks differs, I would like us to build a product that's more accessible to a wider audience. Our approach is to look a little further than just technology, and seek out people who can share expertise across many different slices of life.
