- **Fabien Sanglard** — https://fabiensanglard.net/ — surfaced twice now: his "Jurassic Park Computers in Excruciating Detail" was captured from Kottke on 07-23 and resurfaced today via Cool Tools, which is the pattern that says *source*, not *one-off*. Long-form technical archaeology — the Game Engine Black Book author taking apart old hardware, renderers and film production computing at a level nobody else bothers with, and consistently a delight rather than a manual. **Fetch note:** the site publishes a working feed at `fabiensanglard.net/rss.xml`, so it would go in as `fetch: "feed"` with no special handling. Cadence is genuinely irregular (weeks between posts), so `as-needed` or `monthly` rather than daily.

- **sheets.works** — https://sheets.works/ — surfaced via Kottke's link to The Listening Museum, whose own og card labels it "THE DATA DROP · #049". A numbered, recurring series is the tell: this is a publication with a back catalogue of forty-eight other data-visualisation pieces, not a one-off project that happened to go around. The Listening Museum alone (36 keyboards, sound-mapped, playable from your own keyboard) is exactly the register the site wants — a dataset turned into something you operate rather than read. **Vet for:** cadence and whether a feed exists; the `/data-viz/` path suggests other sections worth checking before committing to a fetch strategy.

- **Space Type Generator** — https://spacetypegenerator.com/ — surfaced via Kottke's link to BoxSquad. A studio publishing small browser toys that deform type and shapes in 3D; BoxSquad (drag the limbs, drag the borders) is one of several. Browser toys have been a reliable delight category all summer, and this is a repeat producer of them rather than a single link. **Vet for:** whether new toys appear often enough to justify anything more than `as-needed`, and whether there is an index page listing them.
|
||||
- **newold.computer** — https://newold.computer/ — surfaced via Show HN. Marginal by design: it is a catalogue/shop, not a publication, so it fails the "curated feed" test on its face. Nominating anyway because the *catalogue itself* is the editorial act — someone is tracking which parts are still being manufactured for Commodore, Amiga and Atari hardware, and each new entry is a finding. **Vet for:** whether it has any change feed at all; without one it is a quarterly manual check, which may not be worth a slot.
