# Surfaces: one record, every page you publish

Surfaces One record. Every surface. Your content lives once, in Stacklist. Every page you publish is a projection of it. Change the record, and every page changes with it. Create an account What is a Surface? Podcast, event, and build-your-own Surfaces are live today. Free to start. a website an event a podcast build your own an open house a launch a menu an invite a link page the record Diagram, not a product screenshot. The filled nodes are live today (open one); the rest show where this is going. the pattern Right now you are probably running four of these. None of them share a single piece of content. Each has its own fee and its own login. Update your bio and you update it four times, or you update it once and three of them are quietly wrong. An event tool own fee · own login A link in bio own fee · own login A site own fee · own login A page for your podcast own fee · own login Four logins. Four bills. One person keeping them in sync: you. how it works Three steps, and then it maintains itself. 01 Your content already lives in Stacklist, as stacks and collections. 02 Pick a surface. 03 Publish. It keeps itself current, because it is reading from the record. what is live right now Start with a podcast or an event. Paste an RSS feed and you get a show page that adds every new episode on its own. Or build an event page from what you already keep in Stacklist. Both templates are live today. See a live Surface live surfaces Two Surfaces. The same template. Both of these are running the podcast Surface. They share a template and nothing else, because what they actually differ by is the record underneath. Open either one. Building Stacklist buildingstacklist.com Zero to Umm… zerotoumm.com before it goes live Nothing publishes until you have confirmed it. The record updates on its own. The page does not, until you say so. You see exactly what changed, and you decide whether it ships. New episode detected Not published Episode 41 — What a record actually is pulled from your feed Show notes and description pulled from your feed Mentioned in this episode 4 resources from your stacks Publish these changes Not yet what makes it different Four things a static page cannot do. 01 They update themselves from your content. Nobody opens an editor. 02 They emit real structured data — schema.org PodcastSeries and Event — generated from the record. 03 They publish nothing until you have confirmed the change. 04 They pull resource stacks into the page, so "mentioned in this episode" maintains itself. the family A website is one surface. It was never the only one. Podcast, event, and build-your-own Surfaces are live today. The rest are where this is going. a website an event live today a podcast live today build your own live today an open house a launch a menu an invite a link page Panes are drawings, not screenshots. Each one is a different arrangement of blocks: that is what makes it a different surface, not a different skin. Podcast, event, and build your own exist today; the last is those blocks with no template at all, arranged by you. Start building your Surface. Podcast and event templates are live now.
