Why create stacks when LiveCode Server can manage data via text files or databases - the orthodox data storage options for multi-user server environments, which come complete with robust security models?
If the data is structured and suits a database approach, the inherent data storage aspects of stack, cards, fields, variables and custom properties (including arrays) can be mapped onto a data-set in a database (tables, records, fields, rows). If databases are to be avoided - or if the data doesn't suit a database architecture - the LiveCode application structure can be mapped to a file-based storage model instead (folders, files, lines, line-items).
