Stacks.app First Look + Q&A
03/05/2025
I know that we have all been waiting patiently (and some not so patiently, LOL) for Stacks to finally come into its own app. I have shown some peeks at it in the past; however, today I will do a full-on tour. You are going to see how amazing it is. Thank you to everyone who has already posted questions about Stacks. Isaiah can't join me today, but he wrote answers to all the questions asked so far. I will address all of these questions during this live stream and field any new ones that you might have while we are live. https://yourhead.com/appcast/shared/q... I am so excited. I hope that you can join me live.
