1. Discover broadly
We look through maker communities, digital-art showcases, museum and education resources, public project galleries, direct suggestions, and corners of the open web. A discovery source is a lead—not permission to copy its writing or catalog.
2. Verify directly
We open the actual site, confirm the recommended URL, check what a visitor can do, and record practical facts such as signup requirements, audio, cost, and device fit. Unsafe, deceptive, explicit, broken, or ordinary destinations do not move forward.
3. Judge the experience
Our scorecard considers novelty, usefulness or delight, craft, trust and safety, accessibility, and durability. Scores organize the queue; they never replace judgment.
4. Write original field notes
Profiles explain what makes a site worth visiting, how to enjoy it, and what to know first. Automated research can create a draft, but indexable pages require review, source checking, and original editorial value.
5. Keep checking
The web changes. We revisit destinations, respond to reports, pause broken or suspicious links, and show when a profile was last checked. Corrections are welcome.
