REVIEW LANE — 214 PENDING, ONE AT A TIME
A stack, not a mailbox. One card is in hand, the rest are underneath, and the whole apparatus is built so a decision costs one key. Ranking sorts the stack and never hides anything — what is underneath is listed in order beneath the card, and the reserved outside-the-usual slot is placed into that order by the run rather than earned by it. Grouping picks the mental context: one Scout, one question, or one topic at a time.
SKIM FEED — SCROLLING PAST IS THE INTERACTION
The same proposals, different physics. No cards, no borders, no stack, no accept or reject: a continuous column of single lines that thins out as it ages and disappears on its own after thirty days. The only affordance is promotion upward — anything you touch moves into Review. Nothing here is owed a decision, and the design says so by giving you nothing to press.
ONE PROPOSAL, IN FULL — AND WHAT IS MISSING
Left: a journal article with every field populated. Right: a lab blog post with no venue, no keywords and no DOI. Both are valid cards. Missing fields are printed as missing in the same slot they would occupy, so the shape of the card tells you what kind of thing it is before you read a word of it — and nothing is inferred to fill a gap.
THE TRIAGE LOOP
Four keys carry almost all the traffic, and none of them opens anything. The card is replaced in place, the decision is reversible for as long as the session lasts, and accepting writes a Source stub — a bibliographic record and a link, no file.
