the idea
A page that is downstream of your content.
Most pages are copies. You write something once, then paste versions of it into a site, a link page, an event listing, a show page. From that moment on they drift, and keeping them honest becomes a standing chore.
A Surface is not a copy. It is a view of your record: the stacks, cards, and feeds you already keep in Stacklist. Change the record and every Surface reading from it changes too.

Questions?
Is a Surface a website?
It is a page that reads from your record. A website is one surface you might publish. It was never the only one.
What can I make today?
A podcast Surface or an event Surface. Both templates are live today.
What happens when i publish an episode?
The Surface picks it up from your feed. Nothing goes live on the page until you have confirmed it.
Do I need to design it?
No. Pick a theme preset and the whole page repaints. You can change it later without touching your content.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. buildingstacklist.com and zerotoumm.com are both Surfaces running on their own domains.
What does it cost?
Free to start. You can publish your first Surface today.
