If most of the use cases for grouping are met with sticking things together than in def in favor of building on this approach. How do you foresee ungrouping things working?
One of the changes Iām making on mobile later is that you have to drag and hold before you can drag cards. So hold and drag away might not work for ungrouping?
Either just dragging cards out or having a button that just turns the stack of cards into
Makes sense. Super promising 
this is a cute and awesome mockup ā how did you produce it? 
OMG that mockup video is so great, I am watching it on loop.
to me, stacks are a specific type of group because it the cards are strictly serial. but it feels like this covers a lot of use cases for groups. you do lose spatial relationships, but that might be a more rare use case. I donāt see why you would need to lose connections.
I love this concept. it accomplishes a lot: it lets you tightly organize cards, prevents them from overlapping, makes it easy to manipulate the group. you could style the upmost card in some conventional way to communicate a group title.
really dope @easrng!
2021-04-19 update
Iām going back and forth on this. I observed how I was creating small groups of cards in my various spaces. I now think this is quite common (taking back what I said about āmore rare use caseā), and I wouldnāt want to use this stack grouping for those uses.
I still think the concept is super dope and I would probably grow into finding ways to use it, but the beauty of Kinopio is how easy it is to rearrange cards. I often will make a list, but then soon thereafter pull one of those items somewhere else or move it to be next to another card, etc. in these cases, I would find a fairly ātightā stack limiting and tend not to use it.
I wrote a bookmarklet for this
capturing this here as a reference:
I created a fake informal stacked card group, my use case here was to supplement a picture with additional information
Nested cards (one parent with multiple children) is a must. Having connector points for each (parent and children) will be cool too. @pirijan, your mock-up above is good enough. Any clues as to when this can be released?
hey nick,
Iāll be starting work on this will probably about two months from now at the earliest, thereās a couple other things on the roadmap that I need to do first
oh ya i just shipped an overlapping card indicator
itās not specifically all the things requested for user-definable grouping, but it might address many of the needs here
With the resizable image/video cards feature, you can hack groups. Iāll have to see how practical this is, but take a look:
I created a translucent image card and resized it to hold the cards in the group. If I want to move the group, I can tap the count button to select them all.
Cool idea that would make things a little less messy.
Hey,
iām just here to add my vote for a grouping feature as briefly discussed on Discord.
I was thinking something āUI easyā, like how photo editing and wireframe software like Balsamiq (my role model for well impleneted grouping) do it.
Just āCTRL-Gā to group and āCTRL-SHIFT-Gā to ungroup, or an extra button āGroup / Ungroupā in the context menu when selecting.
Basically the āminimum viable groupingā 
To me, a group ājustā needs to behave like a selection of multiple cards, i.e. when you move them, they keep their relative position to one another.
I wouldnāt even need a visual indicator. Itās OK to find out a card belongs to a group just by moving it.
To me itās the one feature that would make me upgrade.
At the moment I super love Kinopio to quickly get my thoughts out and scribble a quick first version. But I find myself using something else for the real planning and work. Itās just to easy to pull a card out of context by mistake.
Apart from that, please keep it up, Iām happy to have found Kinopio!
Thanks sts, that makes sense. I hope to work on this soon
Some questions for the thread:
Iāll look at other software (eg balsamiq) to answer these Qs , but typically design software has a ālayersā panel which helps w these issues, so the answers there may not make sense in kinopio.
Hereās my take on it:
should groups be persistent across sessions?
yes, that would be desirable
should you only be able to have one group per space or multiple?
more than one, please 
what happens if the same card belongs to multiple groups? (what happens if i drag it, do both groups move?)
a card would only belong to one group imho
if you select one/some of the cards in a group and hit ctrl-shift-g to ungroup does it remove the whole group, or just modifies the group to remove the selected cards from the group?
removing the whole group would be fine for me, but no strong opinion, whatever is easier to implement
Same with adding to a group, whatever is easier. I can imagine merging new cards into an existing group but also wouldnāt mind to first having to āungroupā and then create a group from a new selection.
Very cool, looking forward if and what you come up with 
sounds good to me ā does everyone agree with this?
so if i select a bunch of cards where one of them belongs to another group and I hit cmd-g:
