Whoa! STOP!

At no point did anything say when I was creating stacks that this info would be public for other users of the site! I was shocked to find what I’d been ranking (which luckily was just chip flavors) available for anyone to see. What if I’d tried putting clients to evaluate in there?

You can’t just collect personal data and share it like that!

Their privacy policy does say "When you create a Stack, please be aware that all content you input is public and can be viewed by anyone.", but I agree, it's super unintuitive that this is the case.

The "Create Stack" button should probably say "Publish Stack".

(and ideally also an "unlisted" checkbox, which generates you a uuid-based sharing URL)

Unlisted sounds like a good option.
