Dedup was the story: 56 candidates surfaced, 31 already captured (the daily
feeds largely re-served yesterday's items), 2 previously rejected on merit,
5 failed the bar today.
Shortlisted 10. Two items were demoted off the shortlist by the fact-check
step rather than before it — the Coleman stove's Snow Peak IGT compatibility
is not a claim Coleman makes (and it is backorder-only), and Shortverse is a
filmmaker hosting platform, not the viewer-facing short-film streamer it
looked like. Both stay as finds, honestly written.
5 Amazon links. Source maintenance: Kevin Kelly demoted weekly -> as-needed
(publishes, but the Technium is essays, never things); The Browser's free feed
now carries only 2 of 5 daily picks; two Reddit 429s recorded but not acted on
(same-domain subs succeeded, so it reads as throttling, not a block).
Fact-check against folo.is, its pricing page, and the GitHub README
corrected the license (AGPL-3.0, not GPL-3.0) and added mobile apps,
real pricing tiers, and the self-hosting caveat the find omitted.
Fact-check against tintd.app and the App Store surfaced a version split:
the direct download is the real Tintd 2 (macOS 14+, one-time $9.99+),
while the Mac App Store listing is still the older v1.3.4 (macOS 13+,
subscription option) — Apple's review queue hasn't caught up yet.
Fact-check against indieseek.co corrected the find's "no panel" claim
(there's a secondary status view) and added shortcut mechanics,
format limits, and pricing.
tldraw: fact-check enriched the find — dual product (free whiteboard /
source-available SDK), licensing corrected to the proprietary tldraw
license (not MIT). Fresh first-party screenshot hero.
Kartell Componibili: first review to carry amazonLink (genuine Kartell
4966/03, sold by Amazon) — exercises the new 'Also on Amazon' affiliate
rendering end to end. New 'design' category.
The useful menagerie, Who actually said that, The completists, Ambient data,
Made on the old machines, Never out of production, Six groans (third serving),
Nothing to win here. All items previously unbundled; zero reuse.
RemCTL (Federico Viticci's Reminders CLI): category `automation`,
hero reused from MacStories OG card. Body flags the private-API
caveat — RemCTL reads Reminders' SQLite + ReminderKit directly.
Editorio (indie markdown+code editor): category `writing`, hero reused
from Reddit OG. No homepage exists yet; review acknowledges single-
Reddit-post documentation. Used astro:assets <Image> for responsive
srcset on the small JPG.
Muxy (SwiftUI workspace): category `terminal`, fresh hero from the
github.com/muxy-app/muxy README. The find sold this as "a terminal
with a sidebar" — the review's blockquote opens by correcting that.
Muxy is actually a full SwiftUI workspace (Git tooling, file tree,
command palette, Mermaid preview, 490 themes, iOS+Android companion
apps). Review link points to github repo per user direction.
Ten-day gap since the 2026-05-20 sweep. Pool grows from 414 → 468 finds.

Major blocker: Reddit JSON endpoint is hard-blocked this run — all four
r/* sources returned identical 189908-byte HTML payloads regardless of
UA or URL pattern. Lost ~15-25 finds. Next-pass action: OAuth Reddit
API.
Other blockers: TidBITS 403, Web Curios ECONNREFUSED with no recent
issue URL resolvable, Things Magazine still on May 15 post (monthly-ish
cadence confirmed), Atlas Obscura serving evergreen 2017-era content,
A Continuous Lean dormant 9 runs.
5 new source nominees in candidate-sources.md.
Single-image review of Neal Agarwal's Cursor Camp browser toy, reusing
the find's existing 1200×630 share card. New `play` category — none of
the existing buckets fit a web-toy, and the 2026-05-14 six-browser-games
bundle has 5+ other candidates that will graduate cleanly into it.
Seven-day gap since the 2026-05-13 sweep. Pool grows from 347 → 414 finds.

Source-maintenance flags this run: Reddit JSON endpoint rate-limits hard
on >10 per-post fetches in a 60s window (mid-run hero fetch failed for 6
posts); switch to extracting previews from the top listing JSON at scan
time. Atlas Obscura no longer Cloudflare-blocked but homepage falls back
to evergreen 2017-era pieces. A Continuous Lean dormant for 8 runs.
Things Magazine cadence: weekly → monthly (not quarterly as flagged on
05-13).
7 new source nominees in candidate-sources.md.
4-slide carousel (library, graph-search, visualizer, DSP) sourced from
zenteek.app. New `music` category — none of the existing buckets
(interface, indie, writing) fit a music player. Audirvana/Apple Music/Roon
named directly as comparisons in the body.
Four-day gap since the 2026-05-09 sweep. Productive sources: r/macapps,
