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.

### Source maintenance for next pruning pass
|
|
|
|
- **uhotw.com**: domain expired and is now a gambling site. Update to `unusualhotelsoftheworld.com` or remove.
|
|
- **Standard & Strange Journal**: `/blogs/journal` returned 404 — find current journal URL.
|
|
- **Indie App Sunday**: Mastodon hashtag URL needs the right format (`https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieAppSunday` 404'd; try `.../tags/indieappsunday`).
|
|
- **17 sources block WebFetch with 403** — likely Cloudflare. Many of these would work via `curl` with a browser User-Agent. Consider adding `fetch: curl` mode for a `--with-headers=browser` strategy, or accept that ~⅓ of sources need a different fetch path.
