Interesting.

There's the usual problem with making assumptions about the browser
window width.  If CSS is unable to let us adapt to the actual window
width (a subject about which I mostly profess ignorance), I suppose
the next best thing would be some kind of setting for "2 wide", "3
wide", "4 wide", etc.

The cards probably take up more space than you want for a "shuffle
them around" type page.  I'm thinking just the title ("Sew Sails" etc)
would appear on the stack page, with some way of getting the text.
Maybe a mouseover (although it isn't clear to me there is a good way
to do that).  Or a details pane (one per page) or something.

Can a card be in more than one stack?  For an open source project,
I've been wondering about a design where there is a central repository
of cards, and each developer (or interested user) has one or more
stacks.  For example "jim's high priority cards", "things jim is
unlikely to work on but wants to keep an eye on", "jim's wild ideas",
"release goals for r2", etc.  I'm not sure what should happen when the
user edits a card - whether it would be copy-on-write (with some kind
of link between the two, perhaps), or whether the user has to
explicitly choose between "edit shared card" or "make a new card,
leaving the old one alone", or what.
