# Card Sort

Card Sort is a **free** and open-source tool for conducting a virtual card sorting. It was built as a way to **quickly conduct a card sorting online**, without the need to sign up or pay for commercial solutions or self-host an open-source project.

It works best when combined with other tooling. For example you could create a form with instructions, questionnaire and a link to the card sorting. You could also ask the participants to copy the results back into the form.

Analysis tools are in development. If you're interested, you can take a look at the [current progress](https://indigane.github.io/cardsort/analysis.html) and discuss [in the issues page](https://github.com/indigane/cardsort/issues/2).

Images can be added to the cards by typing `image:` and a link to the image.

```

Text can also be included before or after an image.

```

### Programmatic use

Query parameters can be passed to the card sorting page instead of going through the creation form.

All parameters are optional.
