The Stack Help
The Stack is a simple application for managing To-Do items.
Usage
The main view is a list of items, most recent on top.
Tapping on an item in the list allows you to edit it.
Tapping on the button at the top-right makes a new item (⌘N).
Items consist of a single editable piece of text. Include #hashtags in the text to add tags to the item.
You can pull an item to the top of the list using the up-arrow button.
Tapping on a tag in the main list filters the list by that tag.
Tapping on a tag when viewing an individual item takes you to a view of that tag. You can edit the tag name here, and also see the other items it is attached to.
Completing Items
When you’re editing an item, the button at the top-right allows you to change its state.
A new item starts in the “To Do” state.
If you tap/click on the button of an item in this state, it will change the item be “Completed”, and will navigate back to the item list.
If you want a bit more control, you can also long-press on the button, to view a menu of alternative states. You can use this menu to put the item into states like “Abandoned”, “Paused”, and so on.
Viewing Completed And Deleted Items
By default, the item list only shows items that are not marked as completed.
You can change the filter on the list of items to also include completed items, and/or deleted items (⌘1/⌘2/⌘3).
Doing this allows you to tap on a completed or deleted item. You can then edit it if you want to, or can use the top-right hand button to change it back into a non-deleted or non-completed item.

Known Issues
- When viewing a tag, the list of items using that tag can show a row in a selected state - with a darker background. This is a bug.
- When viewing an item, the selection defaults to the whole body of text. This may be annoying - let me know.
- The > at the end of each item in the list is superfluous and will be removed.
