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.

The case against a live wallpaper has always been the fan noise. Wallspace is a native Swift app built around hardware-accelerated playback, so a 4K loop runs at 60fps under 2% CPU — quiet enough to leave on through a video call. Each display gets its own loop, you can drop in any MP4 file from the disk without re-encoding, and the lock screen gets the same treatment on macOS 26+. Free with a one-time $8.99 Pro tier for the curated 4K catalog and lock-screen support.
