rzen 7315ec9ddd site: reviews — tldraw, Kartell Componibili (graduate from finds)
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.

rzen 601a2515f6 site: cluster run — 8 bundles covering 53 backlog finds
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.

rzen 80b3920715 site: hero auto-discovery, pick.json hero selection, amazonLink + shortlist fields
- src/lib/hero.ts: review heroes are now auto-discovered via import.meta.glob
  over reviews/*/hero.<ext>; only legacy non-hero-named assets remain as
  explicit overrides. New reviews need zero registration.
- Pick of the day moves from a hardcoded HERO_SLUG in index.astro to
  src/data/pick.json (content edit, not code edit); dev set-pick API and
  the review-page button now write pick.json. Fallback: latest review.
- Schemas: finds gain shortlist (bool) + amazonLink; reviews gain amazonLink.
- Review + find pages render an 'Also on Amazon' affiliate link when
  amazonLink is set, with shared disclosure handling.
- Both hero globs now include .avif (two June finds ship avif heroes).

rzen 3e2adfafd3 site: editorio — link to dev site + App Store, replace hero with real screenshot
Found the canonical home for Editorio: developer Lovre Crncevic's site
at editorio.crncevic.org, free on the Mac App Store at id6759334075.

Updates:
- Review and find now link to editorio.crncevic.org (was Reddit-only)
- Review body adds App Store link inline + corrects the "anonymous dev"
  framing (Lovre Crncevic is named), version 5.4, App Store privacy
  label, free no-IAP, ~40 MB RAM, sub-100 ms file open
- Replaced the small Reddit-OG-card hero with the developer site's
  1280×800 screenshot (36 KB webp) showing the actual side-by-side
  source+preview with independent minimaps
- hero.ts import retargeted to hero.webp

rzen 55287e575d site: home — double initial review grid to 24 tiles 2026-05-31 22:21:18 -04:00
rzen 991dce3869 site: reviews — RemCTL, Editorio, Muxy (graduate from finds)
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.

rzen 63f5b163c3 site: review — Continue? Y/N (graduates from find)
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.

rzen 3c6f54add3 content: 2026-05-30 capture run — 54 finds across 18 productive sources
Ten-day gap since the 2026-05-20 sweep. Pool grows from 414 → 468 finds.

Productive: Six Colors, MacStories (3), Daring Fireball (3), Brett
Terpstra, Eclectic Light, Show HN (5), Wallpaper* Travel (5), AFAR (2),
Boutique Homes, Cool Tools (2), Kottke.org (4), Open Culture (5),
Quote Investigator (4), A.Word.A.Day, The Marginalian (4), MoMA (3),
Recomendo (3), icanhazdadjoke (7).

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.

rzen 4b34d2e5e0 site: review — Cursor Camp (graduates from find)
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.

rzen f8c58dd84b content: 2026-05-20 capture run — 67 finds across 25 productive sources
Seven-day gap since the 2026-05-13 sweep. Pool grows from 347 → 414 finds.

Productive: r/macapps (10), r/shortcuts (5), Six Colors, MacStories,
Daring Fireball (3), Brett Terpstra, Wallpaper* Travel (5), AFAR (3),
The Outbound Collective (3), r/BuyItForLife (3), Kottke.org, Web Curios
(5), Recomendo, Cool Tools (2), Wikiquote, The Marginalian (3),
A.Word.A.Day (2), Quote Investigator, r/dadjokes (7), icanhazdadjoke (3),
Things Magazine (3 — first new post in 6 weeks).

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.

rzen 3d379707c8 site: three bundles — browser games, more groans, Mac apps from the catch
Three bundles drafted 2026-05-14 from the 2026-05-13 capture pool:

- Six games inside a single tab: takeaway, single-ride, play-your-tubes-
  right, desktop-tower-defense, cursor-camp, vaskange
- Six more clean groans: suitcase, mortician, cow-lightning, queue,
  garden-plot, wind-turbines (sequel to six-clean-groans)
- Six Mac apps from this week's catch: Switch, Aira, Steno, ChessUnlock,
  Monologue, TerminalWidget

rzen 36af29cb5c site: review — Zenteek (graduates from find)
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.
