The basics

What is Tackologie?

What is a Tack?

A Tack is something you find and want to keep. Public Tacks can appear in Discover and always keep a meaningful link to their original source.

Discover is the public place to browse and search Tacks. There are no motion Tacks, and Tackologie is currently ad-free.

How do I create a Tack from a URL?

Sign in, choose Add Tack, and paste the original public page—not a bare image link. Choose one eligible still image, add a title or a little context if helpful, and save it.

A public Tack needs a usable still image and a working public source link. Titles and descriptions make a Tack easier to understand, but they are encouraged enrichment rather than a universal requirement.

Collecting

How do Saved tacks and Stacks work?

What happens when I tack something?

When you use Tack it, that public tack is added to your Saved tacks. Your saved collection is tied to your signed-in account, so it is there when you return.

How do Tack, Saved Tacks, and Stacks work together?

A Tack is one thing you discover or save. When you Tack a public discovery, it is saved in Saved Tacks and Tackologie immediately asks where you want to organize it.

A Stack is a collection of Tacks around an idea, project, interest, or plan. Choose one or more existing Stacks, or create a new Stack in the same picker. Closing the picker keeps the Tack in Saved Tacks, and you can reopen it from the Tack later to add or remove Stack placements.

Does untacking or removing a tack from a Stack delete it for everyone?

No. Untacking removes it from your Saved tacks and also clears it from your Stacks. Removing it from one Stack only removes that one placement—it stays saved and can remain in other Stacks.

Neither action deletes the public tack for other people. Deleting a Stack likewise removes only your Stack and its placements, not the original tacks.

Finding ideas

How do Search and Discover work?

Why can a related search find a Tack without the exact word in its title?

Search looks for direct matches and useful related concepts across a Tack’s public title, description, topic, source details, and available image text. That helps a search such as “art” find an illustration even if the exact word is not the headline.

What appears in Discover? Why might a Tack not appear there?

Discover shows public static-image Tacks with a working link back to their source. A page that lacks a defensible source/image relationship or an eligible still does not become public, so it will not appear in Discover or public search.

Trending is shown in a transparent beta order: recent additions first, then the published sample order.

Sources

Why does every Tack have a source?

What does Visit source do?

Visit source takes you to the original page connected to that Tack. No dead ends. Every public Tack keeps a working link back to where it came from, so you can return to the recipe, product, artist, article, project, or original page.

The source is part of what makes a public Tack different from a detached repost. Helpful titles and descriptions are encouraged so people can understand what they are seeing.

Does Tackologie have ads?

Tackologie is currently ad-free. If ads are introduced later, they will never exceed 10% of the experience and will come only from a human-reviewed pool of quality advertisers.

Content guidelines

Why might a Tack not be published?

What content does Tackologie not allow?

Tackologie does not publish adult or sexual content, violent content, or real-world occult practice or promotion. Fantasy, folklore, mythology, fictional magic, and lighthearted seasonal supernatural imagery can be allowed when otherwise safe.

Read the full Content Guidelines for the details.

Can I appeal a decision?

Sometimes moderation can make a mistake. If Tackologie declines a Tack, the signed-in creator can use the Appeal this decision action shown with that exact decision. An appeal does not publish or save the Tack.

You can add an optional explanation. We’ll review one pending appeal for that attempt and email a decision within 48 hours, so you do not need to Tack the item again.
