# A tour of bggpipe

Eight pages in one local app — Pipeline, Photos, Titles, Review, Queue, Library, Shelves, and Help. Every screenshot below is the real app on the author's real shelves, and the end product is public: [the author's BGG collection](https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/ewagoner) is what this pipeline built. (Back to the [README](../README.md) · how to use it all: the [user's guide](guide.md).)

**The Pipeline page** — every stage is a card with live counts and a Run button; blockers (missing token, stub-data lock) surface as banners, not surprises. Here: the settled state after a full run — 136 titles read, 115 matched, 62 added.

**Photos** — drag shelf photos in; boxes the vision model saw but couldn't read become illustrated reshoot tickets with shelf directions a human can follow.

**Titles** — every read off the shelves, alphabetized with status and source photos. This is the proofreading checkpoint: edit misreads, split multi-copy lines, remove non-games, add a game no photo caught.

![Titles page: 150 title reads with status chips and source photo links, shaky-read badges with one-click confirm, split-into-copies and edit actions, and the add-a-game panel open](screenshots/16-titles-proofread.png)

**Review** — keyboard-first decisions on ambiguous matches. Each card shows the shelf photo beside the candidates (with rank, owner counts, and a view-on-BGG link per candidate), plus hand-steered re-searches of BGG or RPGGeek when the automatic search can't reach the right database. Here: is that box base Agricola or the Revised Edition?

**The editions pass** — after matches are settled, an optional pass picks which *printing* each copy is, scored against the cues read off the box. Skippable per game, and never blocks uploads. Here: five English Catan editions to choose between.

**Queue** — exactly what upload will do before it does it, and a permanent log of every attempt ever made. Here: six adds and one version update, pending.

**Library** — the enriched collection: searchable across titles, designers and mechanics, filterable by player count, sortable by rank/weight/year/time. Every card opens a detail page joining BGG's data with your own shelf photos; off-BGG games take hand-written facts and a cover photo there.

**A game's detail page** — BGG's stats, chips, and description joined with what only the pipeline knows: *your* edition, and the shelf photo it was read from.

**Shelves** — your furniture drawn as it stands: units render their physical arrangement (a double-wide top row spans the top), with fill bars, zones, and a suggestion engine that learns your organization from every placement you confirm.

**Help** — the whole flow, every page, every status, and every keyboard shortcut, documented in-app.

**And on a phone** (`--lan`) — the same app, paired once by QR code: the hamburger menu, shooting shelf photos straight into the pipeline from the camera, proofreading titles from the couch, and the piper on the Help page.
