One of the things I’ve wanted to do with The Stack is to handle all of the user’s interactions with some sort of action abstraction.
It turns out that this is harder than it ought to be with the modern SwiftUI navigation mechanisms.
I’ve been a bit quiet and not posted for the last few weeks.
This is down to a combination of holidays, minor sickness, distractions, and beavering away preparing an MVP of The Stack, which I’ve now released.
I’ve also got a bit of a backlog of other things I mean to post about…
I’ve just quietly released the first version of The Stack.
It represents a slightly different and fairly opinionated take on solving the To Do list / note taking problem, and I made it mostly to scratch my own itches1. I’m hoping that some other people think the way I do and will also find it useful.
You can download it here.
For some more detailed answers as to why I made it, read on…

I was looking back on some of my old blog posts from 2021 earlier1, and I came across something that I thought bears repeating.
It was from this post, and the section I though was worth re-visiting was called “Caveat Emptor”.
It was about how my open source projects are often unfinished, and unpolished, and very much work in progress.
What I said then still applies today, and I’ll repeat it below.

Which sounds a little bit narcissistic now that I say it out loud. Ah well - bite me. I fell into a rabbit hole ok, and it just so happens to be one of my own making. ↩
