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.

# Changelog
|
|
|
|
## May 2026
|
|
|
|
- Restructure into a four-collection content pipeline: `find` (captured items, hidden from indexes), `finds` (editorial superposts that reference find slugs in a Pinterest-style grid), `reviews` (existing — gains optional `source` and `fromFind` fields for graduations), and `posts` (existing, generic essays)
|
|
- New routes `/find/<slug>/` (direct URL only — finds don't appear on home, tag, or category pages) and `/finds/<slug>/` (superpost detail with intro + grid)
|
|
- New components: `FindCard`, `FindsGrid`, `Backlinks`, `SourceBadge`
|
|
- `/sources` cards gain a "Recent finds" sub-list per source — the one cross-cutting surface where individual finds are visible
|
|
- Find pages show "Featured in:" backlinks computed at build time from any superpost referencing them; review pages show "← First surfaced…" when promoted from a find
|
|
- New project-local skills under `.claude/skills/`: `daily-finds` (capture-only — no theme detection, no candidate post, no winner pick), `build-finds` (editorial superpost author), `build-review` (find → review graduation)
|
|
- `sources.json` gains per-source `fetch` strategy (`webfetch` / `curl` / `skip`) with optional `fetchUrl` override; 11 sources switch to curl with a Safari User-Agent (Cool Material, MoMA Design Store, StyleForum, Atlas Obscura, etc.); 9 marked `skip` after Cloudflare JS challenges and active anti-bot defeats both WebFetch and curl
|
|
- New `/sources` page (3-column card stream listing every source with its type, cadence, topics, and notes)
|
|
- Migrate the seed daily-finds post: extract 5 candidates into individual find files, slim the superpost to just the intro paragraph, move from `posts/` to `finds/`
|
|
- Initial `sources.json` curated across macOS apps, useful tools, gifts, clothing, travel, and general-delight feeds (47 sources)
|
|
- Daily-finds capture log at `daily-finds.log.md`; new-source nominations queued at `candidate-sources.md`
|
|
- Initial blog scaffold with Astro 5 (content collections, no client JS)
|
|
- Base layout with light/dark theme via `prefers-color-scheme`
|
|
- Index page listing posts by date (newest first)
|
|
- Per-post page with title, date, category, optional external link, tags
|
|
- Auto-generated category and tag listing pages
|
|
- Seed content: 12 posts on delightful Mac apps (Cotypist, Folder Peek, DockDoor, TypeWhisper, Hyperkey, AntiNote, FluxMarkdown, Monocle, Alcove, Shottr, MiddleDrag, LinearMouse)
|
|
- Switch to MDX (`@astrojs/mdx`) for post bodies
|
|
- Restructure into two content types: `reviews` (name + subtitle + body) and `posts` (title + body, empty for now)
|
|
- Unified entry helper (`src/lib/entries.ts`) and shared `EntryList` component so the home, category, and tag pages render a mixed chronological feed across collections
|
|
- Reviews route moved to `/reviews/<slug>/`; review detail pages show name as `<h1>` with subtitle as a tagline beneath
|
|
- Index entries now show two lines for reviews (bold name + muted subtitle), single line for posts
|
|
- Migrate the 12 seed entries from `src/content/posts/*.md` to `src/content/reviews/*.mdx` with the new schema
|
|
- Add 5 new reviews: Ice (interface), AltTab (interface), Mac Mouse Fix (input), Homerow (input), Tot (writing)
|
|
- Establish media convention at `src/assets/reviews/<slug>/` for real screenshots/clips downloaded from each app's site
|
|
- Add visuals to 15 of 17 reviews (mp4 demos, animated gifs, or App Store screenshots), with one-line italic captions naming what's shown
|
|
- Style images and videos in review pages: max-width 100%, centered, soft border-radius; italic-only paragraphs auto-render as captions
|
|
- Use `import …?url` for animated GIFs (cotypist, flux-markdown) to bypass Sharp and preserve animation
|
|
- linearmouse and middledrag intentionally have no visual: linearmouse.app is JS-only with no scrapeable demo and the repo carries no screenshots; the `artginzburg/MiddleDrag` repo cited in the review no longer exists
|
|
- Rewrite all 17 reviews — informative, concise, no sales tone; longer reviews lead with a pre-review blockquote summary
|
|
- Style `.body blockquote` as a confident lead (accent left-border, no italics, foreground color) on review and post detail pages
|
|
- Add optional `linkText` field to reviews: overrides the external-link label (e.g. "Visit in App Store" or "Visit on GitHub"); defaults to the link's hostname with `www.` stripped
|
|
- Sample a Pinterest-like 3-column tile stream at `/grid/` (CSS `column-count` masonry, no JS); responsive to 2 cols / 1 col on narrow viewports
|
|
- `src/lib/hero.ts` maps slug → hero asset (image or video) so the grid can render visuals; reviews without media (linearmouse, middledrag) become text-only tiles with an accent gradient
|
|
- Add `wide` prop to `BaseLayout` for pages that need a wider max-width than the default reading column
|
|
- Floating "grid view →" link from the home page; the main index keeps its plain list layout
|
|
- Add a CSS-only scroll-snap carousel for reviews with multiple visuals: each `<figure>` slide carries its own `<figcaption>`; pure CSS, no client JS; thin scrollbar visible on desktop, swipe on touch
|
|
- Expand 8 reviews into multi-slide carousels with downloaded media — antinote (5), typewhisper (6), dockdoor (3), shottr (3), folder-peek (3), homerow (3), ice (3), tot (2); 28 slides total across the site
|
|
- Limit the home page index to the 12 most recent entries across all collections; older entries remain reachable via `/grid/`, categories, and tags
