StackHouse
Actively buildingStackHouse is a canvas tool built for Emotions at Work — a digital space for arranging double-sided image cards and text blocks in online workshops. Cards can be flipped, moved, and grouped freely on a shared canvas, without the friction of general-purpose tools like Miro or FigJam.
The tool is designed around a specific facilitation need: working with physical-style card decks in a remote setting, where the feel of handling and arranging materials matters to the session.
StackHouse is live and in use, but I'm always interested in feedback from facilitators who work with card-based methods. If that's you, I'd love to hear what you think.
Send me a note →StackHouse started from a specific frustration: working with physical card decks in facilitated workshops is irreplaceable in a room, but breaks down entirely when a session moves online. Tools like Miro are powerful but assume a different kind of work — sticky notes and diagrams, not the feel of picking up a card, flipping it, and placing it next to another.
The deeper question I was trying to answer was whether a purpose-built tool — one that did only one thing — could preserve enough of that quality to make the method work remotely. It also became an experiment in how much I could ship with HTML, JavaScript, and a small backend, without reaching for a framework.
