Card system framework

The method for using a card system framework, the method comprising:

• in response to an indication that a first content item is selected from a first card, causing a second card to be displayed on a user interface, wherein the first card encapsulates a first content tile that includes a first plurality of content items that include the first content item, and wherein the second card encapsulates a second content tile that describes a first object that is associated with the first content item;
• and
• in response to an indication that a second content item is selected from the second card, causing a third card to be displayed on the user interface, wherein the third card encapsulates a third content tile that describes a second object that is associated with the second content item,
• wherein the first, second, and third cards appear stacked on top of each other on the user interface.

A system for using a card system framework, the system comprising a hardware processor that executes machine-readable instructions that cause the system to:

• in response to an indication that a first content item is selected from a first card, generate a first object definition in the card system framework, wherein the first card encapsulates a first content tile that includes a first plurality of content items that include the first content item;
• retrieve a second plurality of content items based on the first object definition to generate a second object, the first object definition comprising a target card property that refers to a second card, and a source card property that refers to the first card;
• and
• cause the second card to be displayed on a user interface, wherein the second card encapsulates a second content tile that includes the second plurality of content items.
