# Quickstart

### Requirements

To use Semble you currently need a Bluesky account. If you don't have one, you can sign up at [bsky.app](https://bsky.app). In the future we'll provide an independent Cosmik ID.

### First steps

**1. Log in.** Head to [semble.so](https://semble.so) and log in with your Bluesky account.

**2. Create your first card.** Cards are the building blocks of Semble — they're simply links with optional notes attached. To create one:

* Click the **+** button in the bottom left corner
* Paste a URL you want to save
* Add a note to capture your thoughts (optional)
* Save it

**3. Explore the network.** Click on **Explore** to see recent activity from across the network — new cards, collections, and what others are curating.

**4. Add cards from others** See something interesting that someone else has shared? Click the **+** symbol on their card to add it to your own collection.

**5. Create collections.** Collections help you organize cards around themes, projects, or research questions. Think of them like playlists for ideas. You can create a new collection and start adding cards to it whenever you're ready.  

Note that collections are optional. All your cards will automatically go into your default **Library** collection

:grey\_exclamation:**Important**: Right now, everything you save on Semble is public. This is in line with Semble's vision of building shared knowledge networks, but we recognize the value of private data as well, and it's [on our roadmap](https://github.com/cosmik-network/semble/issues/196).
