StackHouse
A card-based whiteboard for online workshops
stackhouse-build.vercel.app/ ↗Description
StackHouse is collaborative canvas tool for arranging double-sided image cards and text blocks for workshop activities. Cards can be flipped, moved, and resized freely on a shared canvas.
Admins can maintain a library of their own card sets, and create new canvases to use with their clients.
Want to try it?
StackHouse is live and in use for a specific set of cards, but I'm interested in making it work for different card sets & available to other facilitators. If that's you, I'd love to hear what you have in mind.

I always thought this should be a feature that Miro/Mural would add. Since that’s not happened, I built it myself. We’ll use it at Emotions at Work and I’d like to make this available to peers in other contexts, too.
Features
Done:
- Simple account management
- Superadmins can add / edit / delete images in the Card Library
- Superadmins can add a copyright notice for the Card Library, which will be displayed on the Canvas
- Admins can create new Canvases with selected cards from the Card Library
- Logged-out users can access a Canvas permalink
- Admins can delete and duplicate cards on a Canvas
- Admins can add text elements on a Canvas
- Logged-out users can flip, move and resize cards on a Canvas
Upcoming:
- Switch from a single Card Library to being able to house multiple Libraries
- Switch from a two-tier admin system for a single Card Library, to a three-tier role system (superadmin, librarian, facilitator) that is scoped per Library
- Set up Emore cards as a Library, and figure out if there’s any feature development that would support Dignity Inc. practitioners to use it with clients
