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.
Single-image review of the Scale AI Show HN browser game about Claude
Code permission fatigue. Category: `play` — same new category started
for cursor-camp-neal-fun. Body corrects the find's generic "AI agent"
to name Claude Code specifically, per the game's own meta tags.
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.
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.
Bartender 6: 4-slide carousel (peninsula, widgets, menu-bar, triggers)
sourced from macbartender.com/Bartender6/img/. Category: interface —
pairs naturally with the existing ice and alcove reviews.
Gnome: single-image review for Lex Friedman's menu-bar GIF picker.
Replaced the find's icon hero with the actual screenshot from
lexfriedman.com/gnome/screenshot.png. Body highlights the underrated
Apple-Vision OCR feature (text-in-GIF search).
Both heroes registered in src/lib/hero.ts.
Migrate every find from src/content/find/<slug>/ to src/content/find/<year>/<month>/<slug>/ — all 289 existing finds moved into 2026/05/. The find content-collection loader gets a new leafSlug generateId so ids (and therefore URLs at /find/<slug>/) stay flat; src/lib/find-hero.ts switches to a recursive **/hero glob. Bundle items[], promotedTo/fromFind keys, /sources cross-refs, and category/tag pages all keep working unchanged. Skill docs (daily-finds, build-review, build-bundle, cluster-bundles), README, and CHANGELOG updated for the new on-disk path.
Also: 67 new finds from the 2026-05-09 capture run (Web Curios 8, MoMA 7, r/macapps 7, r/dadjokes 6, icanhazdadjoke 6, Wallpaper* Travel 5, Snow Peak 5, Kottke 3, Boutique Homes 3, etc.); felo-ergonic-screwdriver-set rolled back per editorial decision.
New review under category `automation` (introduced for Apple
Shortcuts and similar workflow graduates — none of the existing
review categories fit). Hero registered in src/lib/hero.ts so the
grid card renders. Find marked `promotedTo: smartmover-shortcut`.
Also: HERO_SLUG bumped from superkey → monitorcontrol on the home
page (today's pick).
Captured 27 finds from the daily sweep across 15 sources (Daring
Fireball, HN Show HN, Kottke, Wallpaper, Outbound, Uncommon Goods,
Kikkerland, BIFL, Quote Investigator, Marginalian, r/dadjokes,
icanhazdadjoke, r/shortcuts, Recomendo, Messy Nessy) plus one user-
suggested find (valchoose-barf-bags) and 11 additional reader-
suggestion finds (appcleaner, blip, cleanmykeyboard, clocker,
daisydisk, ia-writer, launchos, macfolio, mos, vivid, wallspace).
New reviews: monitorcontrol (graduated from today's reader
suggestion, category interface) and blip (graduated from today's
reader suggestion, category indie). Both registered in hero.ts.
Site tooling: new dev-only POST /api/set-pick middleware that
rewrites HERO_SLUG in src/pages/index.astro for the Make today's
pick action. EditConfirm reworked to support a non-copy "set-pick"
mode; EditAction takes action and slug props; the reviews template
switches the toolbar button over to the new wiring.
Log + candidate-sources updated. Two new candidates: Routinehub.co
and Moss & Fog.
Adds the Vite-middleware backend that the refactored FindCard tag picker
POSTs to (writes editorialTags into find frontmatter). Without it the
in-card tag toggles 404 in dev. Also registers timelined's hero in the
heroes map so it shows up on the home grid.
UI / dev tooling
- /find/ index: sort by file birthtime desc (sub-day chronology even when
many finds share the same frontmatter date); render the captured-at on
its own line under the host (~0.65rem mono muted)
- New dev-only filter at the top of /find/: All / Not in lists, persisted
in localStorage; "not in lists" hides finds referenced by any superpost
- New editorial-tags chip strip on each find card (dev-only): selected
tags visible by default, full picker on hover/focus-within with a "…"
button for arbitrary tag entry; clicks copy /edit-find-tag <slug> <tag>
to the clipboard via the existing EditConfirm singleton
- New optional editorialTags: string[] field on the find collection
- New src/data/editorial-tags.json — master list of available tags (initial
set: ["delete"]); display order follows file order
/grid/ now uses the JS Masonry component instead of CSS column-count, so
the middle column no longer "dips"; tile hover updated to match the home
page's accent-glow / no-translate style
Content
- New review: apex-markdown-processor (graduated from find of same slug;
hero reused from the find folder)
- New review: sindre-sorhus-older-mac-apps (graduated; intentionally
hero-less per the source page's text-only design)
- New review: superkey (added by user; hero wired in src/lib/hero.ts)
- 24 new finds captured by /daily-finds across travel, jokes, quotes,
product picks, and indie tools
- 2 new finds superposts: 2026-05-04-a-small-atlas, 2026-05-04-off-until-needed
Misc
- daily-finds.log.md and candidate-sources.md updated with the day's runs
- build-finds skill prompt iterated by user
A small Astro + MDX blog for delightful, daily-use finds. The architecture
separates capture from publication and supports reuse:
- find/ captured items, hidden from indexes
- finds/ editorial superposts referencing find slugs in a grid
- reviews/ full-length writeups; can graduate from a find via fromFind
- posts/ regular essays
Three project-local skills under .claude/skills/ drive the pipeline:
daily-finds (capture-only sweep across sources.json), build-finds (draft
a thematic superpost), build-review (graduate a find).
sources.json carries 47 curated feeds with per-source fetch strategy
(webfetch / curl / skip) so Cloudflare-blocked sites and Reddit JSON
endpoints are handled deterministically. /sources renders a 3-column
card stream with a "Recent finds" cross-reference per source.
Seeds: 17 reviews and one superpost referencing 5 finds.
