HELLO. WE’RE STACK & TELL.

Good tools.
Clever combinations.

A digital notebook for people with ideas, a browser full of tabs and things they’d like to make happen.

Which email tool should you start with? How do you make an infographic that makes sense? What do you actually need to sell a download? We like those questions. Even better, we like answers you can do something with.

Stack & Tell is an independent blog by Poppy Hamilton. Expect practical guides, thoughtful software shortlists and small stacks that fit a real job. There’s room for personality here, and always room for a simpler way to do things.

A useful point of view.

Clear questions. Practical answers. Just enough software.

Start with the job

We choose tools around what someone wants to do, from sending a first newsletter to finishing a useful piece of content.

Show the next step

A good guide should leave you with something to try, a decision you can make or a process you can repeat.

Tell you what we know

We link our sources, explain the basis for recommendations and distinguish research from hands-on testing. Paid features are clearly labelled.
