## Create Your First Stack

Stacks are curated collections of cards organized around a topic, interest, or project. Here's how to get started.

### What is a Stack?

A stack is your personal knowledge hub. You can use it to:
- Collect and organize bookmarks, articles, and resources
- Curate lists for specific topics or projects

### Keyword Search

Search across all cards by title, notes, and URLs:

## Summaries and FAQs: Answer Engine Optimization

Once your stack has 3+ well-annotated cards, generate summaries and FAQs to boost discoverability with AI answer engines.

### Why Summaries Matter

A stack summary:
- Becomes your meta description in search results
- Gets indexed by generative AI systems
- Appears in your stack's overview
- Helps people understand what's inside at a glance

Without a summary, your stack falls back to a generic template that won't help you rank.
