 Category: kitchen (existing).
 Fact-check (mandatory, against corelle.com's Shopify product JSON + the Amazon listing): the find held up; the only correction was **price** — the 18-piece Service-for-6 set is **$69.99** (verified identically on corelle.com and Amazon), not the ~$40–55 range guessed at graduation, so the review states $69.99. Verified: Vitrelle is a three-layer laminated tempered glass (described correctly, not generic "triple-layer"); chip/crack-resistant, lightweight, stackable, dishwasher/microwave-safe, oven-safe to 350°F preheated, glass made in USA; 3-year limited warranty. The 15-year durability claim is framed explicitly as an r/BuyItForLife **owner report**, not a manufacturer spec. Limitations surfaced: tempered-glass laminate fails suddenly and can scatter into many sharp fragments when it finally breaks; thermal-shock caution (no hot-onto-cold); lead-paint concerns apply only to older *decorated* vintage Corelle, not the plain undecorated Winter Frost White reviewed here.
 Amazon: carried from the find (/dp/B00R790CLY).

+## 2026-07-12 — capture run

+Sources scanned: 59 total — 15 productive, ~27 empty/dup-only/off-topic, 10 skipped (fetch:skip), 4 blocked (the four Reddit sources — no REDDIT_CLIENT_ID/SECRET in env or .env, so logged blocked-pending-oauth and not retried per the anonymous-endpoint rule), 3 not scanned (Outlier, Boutique Homes: no fetch path; Wikiquote: as-needed).
+Productive sources: Brett Terpstra, Product Hunt, Hacker News — Show HN, Cool Tools, Recomendo, This Is Why I'm Broke, Gear Patrol, The Awesomer, Permanent Style, Wallpaper* Travel, Web Curios, Open Culture, Messy Nessy Chic, The Marginalian, icanhazdadjoke.

+**Heavy dedup run.** The scanners (fanned out per source cluster) surfaced a large crop, but ~half the raw survivors were re-captures of recently-captured finds under *different* slugs — slug-based dedup alone missed them; caught by writer-agents' product recognition + a link/domain sweep. Dropped as duplicates before/after writing: whatcable (→existing whatcable, 05-03), ribbie (→ribbie, 06-21), taskstxt (→taskstxt-plain-text-task-manager, 07-09), diamond-fork (→diamond-fork-hot-springs, 05-03), hastings-kool-aid (→hastings-kool-aid-museum, 07-08), wattana/thai-beef-noodle (→thai-beef-noodle-soup-52-years, 07-04), nusfjord (→nusfjord-lofoten-norway, 07-04), ozu house (→yasujiro-ozu-house-kamakura, 07-04), van-gogh-voice-paint (→existing, 07-04), vasco-v4 (→vasco-v4-translator, 07-09), logitech-mobi-fold (→logitech-mobi-fold-travel-mouse, 07-09), meatstick-v-duo (→existing, 07-06), dachshund-trinket-tray (→kikkerland-dachshund-trinket-tray, 06-21), joe-colombo-kd28-lamp (→joe-colombo-kd28-stacking-table-lamp, 06-21), plus the whole Kikkerland "new arrivals" grid and most Wallpaper* hotels and Atlas Obscura places (all already captured 06-21/07-04/07-11). Web Curios' 2026-07-10 issue dumped 23 web toys — kept the 4 standouts (the-annals, milky-way, world-cup-data-portraits, knockoff), dropped the rest for variety rather than swamp the day with near-interchangeable toys.

+Shortlist (12, ranked):
+1. david-rumsey-map-collection — 140k historical maps, AI-searchable by the text etched on them; broad, benign, strong story. [review candidate]
+2. cities-and-memory-sound-map — global sound map, 8,000+ recordings, each point both real sound and an artist remix; strong hero. [review candidate]
+3. marked-ql-finder-preview — spacebar Markdown previews (Mermaid/math/syntax) in Finder; clean single-virtue Mac utility, hero. [review candidate]
+4. the-annals-living-kingdom — procedural medieval realm that writes its own chronicle; delight + hero.
+5. world-cup-data-portraits — every 2026 World Cup match as a living data portrait; timely, strong hero.
+6. transparent-window-bird-feeder — suction-cup window feeder; unimpeachably benign, hero, Amazon.
+7. orbit-ar-satellite-tracker — point a phone at the sky, AR overlay of ISS/satellites/debris; hero.
+8. the-quiet-map — live map of Earth's quietest place from seismometer data; hero.
+9. alfred-frueh-love-letter-gallery — 1913 love letter that unfolds into a paper art gallery (Smithsonian); hero.
+10. knockoff-shopping — browser extension that scrubs knockoff junk from Amazon results; hero.
+11. altra-lone-peak-trail-shoes — zero-drop BIFL trail shoe, 4th-pair Camino Norte story; hero.
+12. whitcomb-shaftesbury-washable-bespoke-jacket — machine-washable Savile Row bespoke jacket; hero.
+
+Amazon links added: 2 (cjrb-spud-edc-knife → /dp/B0H5BWKX3M, transparent-window-bird-feeder → /dp/B00YSU3WG2). Omitted for altra-lone-peak (size/width-specific listings, no clean parent ASIN — same call as irish-setter-ashby), and for the DTC/limited-batch items (leatherman Batch 009, b2tm, tacray, pen-metheus, whitcomb, museum-garments) — no confident exact match, "when in doubt, omit."
+
+Image-fetch notes: milky-way-photographer-of-the-year (only exposed og:image is a 150×150 thumbnail — below the 400px floor, so no hero saved); david-rumsey-map-collection and sensing-wonder (pages declare no og:image / no og:* tags at all — no hero); ozu-former-home (dropped as dup anyway, but note: Commons has only a portrait of Ozu, no photo of the house); taskstxt.app/og-image.png 404 (find was a dup, dropped). Travel heroes kept license-clean (Wikimedia only) per standing practice.
+
+Source maintenance: none — sources.json untouched (`updated` unchanged). The four Reddit sources are blocked-pending-oauth (no credentials this run) — environmental, not a config problem, no edit due. Watch (no threshold tripped yet): Roadtrippers feed stale (newest 2026-06-09), Things Magazine stale (newest 2026-06-12), A Continuous Lean stale (newest 2026-06-09 — its notes say seasonal/quarterly, not dead). The Browser feed remains title-only (paywalled picks) — low yield but not blocked.
+
+New source nominees: 2 (see candidate-sources.md) — Michael Tsai's blog (mjtsai.com/blog; recurring "via" credit across Six Colors + Daring Fireball this window) and Quantum of Sollazzo (data/dataviz newsletter, credited by Web Curios). Public Domain Review and Down the Rabbit Hole surfaced again but are already nominated.
