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.
The generator still resolved heroes at the old flat src/content/find/<slug>/
path, so every mosaic was skipped as 'no heroes' and src/generated/
bundle-mosaics sat empty. Home-page bundle tiles have been mosaic-less since
the May migration.
Probed all 59 sources for feeds. Highlights: Atlas Obscura, This Is Why I'm
Broke, A Continuous Lean, Gear Patrol, The Awesomer, Permanent Style, and The
Browser all rescued from blocked/skip status by working feeds; all four Reddit
subs work again via the anonymous .rss endpoint (top/.json remains dead);
MoMA Design Store + Kikkerland switched to Shopify products.json endpoints.
Newly skipped (confirmed dead/dormant): Tools and Toys, One Thing Well,
Cool Material, Werd.com, Unusual Hotels of the World.
- daily-finds: feed-first fetch strategy (fetch: feed + feedUrl), cadence-aware
scanning, new score-and-shortlist stage (shortlist: true, up to 12/day, top
1-3 flagged as review candidates), Amazon affiliate lookup for shortlisted
physical products, and authority to apply mechanical sources.json maintenance
(skip dead sources, demote dormant ones, record working fetch paths) instead
of logging recommendations nobody executes.
- build-bundle: auto mode (no confirmation gate when unattended) and a 'weekly'
date-based catch mode so shortlisted finds never sit invisible for weeks.
- cluster-bundles: auto mode.
- build-review: hero.ts registration step removed (heroes auto-discovered from
hero.<ext>); mandatory fact-check against the product's own site in auto
mode; amazonLink carry-through; auto mode publishes and logs instead of
pausing twice for approval.
- New daily-pipeline skill: capture → bundle → reviews → pick of the day →
build → commit → push → digest, with granular per-stage commits. This is the
entrypoint for scheduled runs.
- Project CLAUDE.md documenting the pipeline and its foot-gun conventions.
- 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).
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
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.
