Stacks is a clipboard manager.

## About

With so many great clipboard managers already available, why create another one?

I think of my clipboard as "picking things up" to move them around or redirect

them. In this sense, your system's clipboard acts as a strong proxy for your

["locus of attention"](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/humane-interface-the/0201379376/0201379376_ch02lev1sec3.html)

when you're using a computer.

A clipboard manager, then, is a tool to capture and work with your "locus of

attention." It ambiently captures your current tasks and work _context_.

Stacks is an experimental tool for tracking and manipulating your current

context using pipes and filters. But that’s a lot to explain, so I usually just

describe it as a clipboard manager.

A humble clipboard manager [aspiring](https://x.com/cablelounger/status/1854955656526127398) to elevate the depth of our conversations—

no less.

## UX disclaimer

A quick note on the user experience (UX): it’s fair to say it’s still a bit

rough around the edges. If Stacks reaches a UX level similar to (neo)vim, I'd

consider that a success. It’s pretty spartan and utilitarian, so being

comfortable with the command line, or feeling adventurous, definitely helps.

Stacks is my personal

["tool for thought"](https://maggieappleton.com/tools-for-thought) that I use as

my daily driver. Eventually, I’d like Stacks to reach the polish of tools like

[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md), but for now, the focus is on its experimental

nature and the underlying

[event-sourcing store](https://github.com/cablehead/xs).

## Give it a try!

If you're into experimental tools and are okay with a minimalist,

utilitarian design, give Stacks a try-- I'd love to hear your thoughts!
