Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered.
What is Publicpick?
It's a platform for discovering, curating, and sharing useful content through structured, community-ranked lists. Every list is made by a real person and shaped by votes from people like you.
What's the difference between a List and a Pick?
A List is a themed collection of resources (e.g., "Best Free Marketing Tools").
A Pick is a single item inside a list (like a specific tool, article, or idea).
What are Community Lists vs. Creator Stacks?
Community Lists are collaborative. Anyone can add picks, and the order is determined by community votes. They are great for finding popular, crowd-sourced recommendations.
Creator Stacks are curated by a single person. Only the owner can add or reorder picks, making them ideal for expert guides, step-by-step processes, or personal toolkits.
Can I create my own list?
Yes! After signing in, you can create a new list and start adding your favorite picks. Others can view, upvote, and follow it to get your updates.
How do votes work?
You can upvote or downvote both lists and individual picks. The most useful and relevant content rises to the top through community feedback, making the platform better for everyone.
Can I save things I like?
Yes. You can save any list to your personal collection. This lets you build your own private library of resources that you can easily access from your dashboard.
