Teach the rubric

Five ways in, from laziest to most precise. Everything you add lands in the manifest below — one button turns it into a message you paste to me, and I patch the live agent.

Drop a screenshot or photo here — or click to browse, or just hit ⌘V

Screenshots work perfectly. So do images dragged straight out of Pinterest, Instagram, or a shop page.

Any URL works — a design blog post, a 1stDibs or Pamono page, a Pinterest board, an eBay auction, a Craigslist listing you liked the look of. I'll open it and read it properly, including the photos, and pull out the makers and forms worth adding.

Plain sentences are fine — no format, no keywords. Price ceilings, categories to drop, shapes you're sick of. This is usually the fastest way to fix something that's annoying you.

Tapping a name adds it as a standing search. Shift-click, or use the Avoid toggle in the manifest, to blacklist one instead.

Every row below carries a Keep and a Strike flag on its trailing edge. Hit them as you scroll — this is the lowest-effort option and honestly the most accurate, because you're reacting to real objects rather than describing an abstraction.

A Strike opens a one-tap question: what put you off? It defaults to “just this piece”, which hides that listing and changes nothing in the rubric — so a lazy tap can never cost you a designer you like. Only if you name a reason — the shape, the colour, the upholstery, the designer — do I touch the rules, and only that one attribute. Even then, a designer is never dropped until you've rejected three different pieces by them for the same reason.

Unattributed, but the form is your core archetype — cantilevered chrome, low, open back. The catch is it's near San Diego, outside the radius.

Highest-scoring listing in 24 hours, priced at market rather than below it. Rosewood shells predate the 1991 switch to veneer, so the age claim is checkable.
