# A tour of bggpipe

Seven pages in one local app — Pipeline, Photos, Titles, Review, Queue, Library, and Help. Every screenshot below is the real app on the author's real shelves. (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.

![Titles page: 123 extracted titles with AUTO / AWAITING BGG status chips, source photo links, edit and split-into-copies actions, and a shaky-reads filter](screenshots/03.png)

**Review** — keyboard-first decisions on ambiguous matches, editions, and cross-photo merges (with veto), plus hand-steered re-searches of BGG or RPGGeek when the automatic search can't reach the right database.

![Review page in its done state: 123 extracted, 17 recognized, 2 with versions, 0 rejected, with 106 titles waiting on the BGG API token](screenshots/04.png)

**Queue** — exactly what upload will do before it does it, and a permanent log of every attempt ever made.

**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.

**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.
