Stack is one of core components in Paper and they are truly powerful. They are used to create horizontal and vertical lists, grids of any items and scrollable lists. They are also the core component when it comes to responsive design using Tablet Overrides. Stacks display nothing by default (unless you specify a property such as a background color). They are used to hold other elements (you can think of them as a group of elements) and control how they are laid out in the screen. For example, a vertical list of chat conversations is nothing more than a Stack with a Vertical orientation. A 3 column grid is a Stack with a Horizontal orientation, that Wraps its contents and has 3 items per row. Stacks can place their items one next to each other (horizontally or vertically) or on top of each other (stacked).
