Daily Starcard
Every card in Starcards is shaped around five star points. The acronym is CARDS — starting at Point 1 and moving clockwise.
The Five Points
The five points spell CARDS:
| Point | Letter | Stands for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | C | Card Name |
| 2 | A | Associate |
| 3 | R | Rundown Tags |
| 4 | D | Dynamic Point |
| 5 | S | Share |
Point 1 — C: Card Name
Capture the title and description of the card.
- Title — required, max 120 characters. This is what identifies the card in your Archive and Rundowns.
- Description — optional freeform text. Use it for context, intent, or notes.
Point 2 — A: Associate
Attach files or links to the card.
- Upload files (images, documents) stored alongside the card.
- Add links to external URLs.
Point 3 — R: Rundown Tags
Route the card into one or more Rundowns.
Rundowns are tag-based collections. Adding a card to a Rundown means it will appear when you browse that Rundown. Daily cards are automatically added to the daily Rundown.
Point 4 — D: Dynamic Point
The Dynamic Point changes based on card type. For daily cards, this is your task list.
Add tasks for the day. Each task has:
- A title
- A status: Do / Doing / Did
- A priority: Low / Medium / High / Urgent
- An optional due date
Tasks on a daily card are linked to the broader task system — you can also find and manage them from the Tasks view.
Point 5 — S: Share
Share the card to social platforms.
Export or share the card as an image. Share options appear at this point.
Locking Behavior
Daily cards are editable only on the day they were created. After midnight, the card is read-only.
- The card's slug is set to the date in
YYYYMMDDformat (e.g.20240101). - Attempting to edit a locked card will return an error.
- Collecting before midnight is optional — the lock happens automatically at midnight.
Collected vs. Draft
A daily card is either collected (has a completion timestamp) or a draft (no timestamp). The Archive shows both, with drafts visually distinguished. Collecting is intentional — it signals you're done with the day.
