Welcome to Cardstalker 2.0

Hey everybody! Welcome to the new face of studying.

I’ve been working on this update to Cardstalker for a long time, and I hope everybody is enjoying the new features.

Here’s a description some of the highlights, in case you missed them:

We’ve added two more ways to study, and have plans for more in the future. You can take a practice test, which randomly creates multiple choice, short answer, matching, and true or false questions from your stack. Another way is to study your flashcards as, well, flashcards. This mode is more open-ended, and lets you look through your information like a stack of physical flashcards, and put them away when you know them.

Instead of organizing stacks by school, teacher, and course, stacks are now organized by category. This means that all Biology stacks will fall under the same category.

If you want to have more specific organization of your stacks, we have a new feature just for you: groups. Groups let you and your friends group stacks however you’d like. Something like “Thayer’s AP Calculus” for example.

In order to keep an eye on what your friends are doing, you can now stalk them by going to their profile page and clicking Stalk. This lets you see on your homepage all the new stacks they have created on Cardstalker.

Besides all that, the site has a new, but hopefully familiar look. Most every page has been cleaned up significantly, especially the stack and profile pages.

I hope you enjoy the new version of Cardstalker. However, this is not the end. There’s plenty more ideas to go.
Like Disneyland, Cardstalker will never be complete. Maybe.

nice work Will
another subtle thing that might be good to add is “remember ID and password” when logging in cuz its sort of annoying to type my email everytime

My friend just showed me this website, and I love it! You’ve done a great job with everything — serious!
One suggestion, though. Something that would really help me would be if we could study multiple stacks of cards in one study session. That way, I’d have the choice of ‘learning’ things in smaller portions, but I could combine them for the practice test & all that. Basically, the ability to move stacks around to different areas & to be able to move them back.
Again, this site is awesome! :)

Will, I miss you

Wil, I cannot spell
