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.

Podcast and event Surfaces are live today. Free to start.

Diagram, not a product screenshot. The filled nodes are live today; 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.

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.

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.

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 and event Surfaces are live today. The rest are where this is going.

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 and event exist today.
