Newly nominated sources awaiting review before promotion to `sources.json`. Each entry says where it came from and the case for adding it. Vet manually, then move to the main list.
## 2026-05-13
- **Lex Friedman — lexfriedman.com** — https://lexfriedman.com/ — surfaced as the developer of Gnome (the menu-bar GIF picker captured this run). Friedman is a long-time Macworld/Six Colors contributor with his own site indexing his personal projects and writing. Low-volume but high-signal — when he posts about a new utility he built, it's worth scanning. Possibly more useful as a developer-tracker than a feed.
- **Kyle McDonald — kylemcdonald.net** — https://kylemcdonald.net/ — surfaced via Web Curios linking to his Apocalypse Early Warning System (private-jet tracker). McDonald is a data artist with a long catalog of unusual web projects spanning data viz, machine learning, and net-art. Worth a single-pass scan to harvest current projects; cadence is irregular.
- **Brilliant Maps — brilliantmaps.com** — https://brilliantmaps.com/ — surfaced via Kottke's link to the crowdsourced US-regions map this run. Long-running map-curation site that's a steady source of unusual cartographic finds (linguistic maps, historic boundary maps, sub-regional curiosities). Likely WebFetch-friendly.
- **Hand-drawn Games — handdrawngames.com** — https://handdrawngames.com/ — surfaced via Kottke linking to their revived Desktop Tower Defense. Studio rebuilding Flash-era browser games for the modern web. Low-volume but each release is the kind of nostalgia find that earns a capture; worth a quarterly check.
- **Sandwich Vision (Hovercraft)** — already nominated 2026-05-06 — note that Six Colors continues to surface their work (Hovercraft post this run reconfirms Sandwich is a productive source). Promote next.
- **Routinehub.co** — already nominated 2026-05-05; the Add-to-Calendar Shortcut captured this run is hosted on iCloud rather than Routinehub, so the Routinehub-vs-iCloud-Shortcuts split remains open. Worth a one-pass vetting to see whether Routinehub catches Shortcuts the r/shortcuts thread misses.
## 2026-05-09
- **Daniel Fox — danielfox.ie** — https://www.danielfox.ie/ — surfaced as the author of the YouTube HLS Shortcut captured this run. Personal blog with deep-cut iOS Shortcuts research and reverse-engineering writeups (the YouTube post documented an undocumented YouTube player API). Low-volume but unusually substantive when posts land — worth quarterly check.
