Surface renderers
The human interaction grammars, separated from what they happen to be reading. A renderer renders; it reads nothing and authorizes nothing, which is what lets the same masonry or the same stream-to-topic keyboard project a different owner without being rebuilt.
- renderer
- vertical
- canonical_name
- VerticalRenderer
- donor
- Pixelfed
- grammar
- one subject at a time, full bleed, vertical travel; the next is always already the next thing rather than a choice from a grid
- seam
- the reaction and action rail beside the subject
- renders
- VerticalDiscovery; any pattern whose records are occurrences ranked by attention
- extents
- page workspace
- cannot_infer
- continuous travel -> endorsement of what came next; the order is a ranking and never a recommendation the estate stands behind
- extracted_from
- /discover
- renderer
- stage
- canonical_name
- StageRenderer
- donor
- Mobilizon
- grammar
- on-now rail, one room held open, calendar block, organizer, tags, action zone, what this room published, also-tonight, schedule, live track that pins the newest and pauses while you scroll, theatre mode
- seam
- the action block and the side rail beside the stage
- renders
- LiveCreatorRoom; any pattern whose records are one occurrence you stay inside rather than pass through
- extents
- page workspace
- cannot_infer
- a room being open -> anything being broadcast; this stage publishes status, and a media slot that is empty is empty rather than pending
- extracted_from
- /stage
- renderer
- thread
- canonical_name
- ThreadRenderer
- donor
- Zulip
- grammar
- stream to topic to message, unread per stream and per topic, a new-since-last-opened divider, sender grouping, sticky date separators, a hover action bar, J/K through messages and N/P through topics, jump to latest
- seam
- the message action bar
- renders
- MomentThread; activity streams, watched sources, capability changes, federation peers, agent exchanges -- any pattern whose records are a timeline somebody follows
- extents
- workspace
- cannot_infer
- a machine event rendered as a message -> a person having said it; the grammar is conversational and the speaker is named honestly
- extracted_from
- /channels
- renderer
- board
- canonical_name
- BoardRenderer
- donor
- Pinry
- grammar
- masonry over variable-height visual cards; the picture is the row and the column is whatever is left
- seam
- the pin footer and its detail
- renders
- EphemeralBoard; collections, product mood boards, project reference, community boards -- any pattern whose records are things you look at before you read
- extents
- page section
- cannot_infer
- a generated field -> a photograph of the subject; a card without an image says so on the frame
- extracted_from
- /board
- renderer
- community
- canonical_name
- CommunityRenderer
- donor
- lemmy-ui
- grammar
- dense listing rows, post and card grammar, an action bar per row, the visual density of a place where a lot is happening and none of it is being sold to you
- seam
- the post action bar
- renders
- InterestCommunity; the federation view, member graphs, governance -- any pattern whose records are what a group is doing
- extents
- page section
- cannot_infer
- a dense list -> an active community; density is a layout and not a measure of participation
- extracted_from
- /community
- renderer
- market
- canonical_name
- MarketRenderer
- donor
- Next.js Commerce
- grammar
- a facet rail, result density, sort, grid and list, a compare tray up to four, a sticky detail, and the protocol chain drawn as stages reached rather than a bar run to the end
- seam
- the detail pane and the compare tray
- renders
- HeterogeneousMarket; capability, compute, model, agent skill, job, ticket, sponsorship, grant, funding route, rental, property, contractor, merchant offer, group buy -- any pattern whose records carry an offer
- extents
- page workspace
- cannot_infer
- a stage reached -> any later one; the collapses skip, and paid does not read as delivered
- extracted_from
- /listings
- renderer
- search
- canonical_name
- PropertySearchRenderer
- donor
- grammar
- a persistent query, recent searches, value and category filters, sortable dense rows, a distribution strip, a rank strip, a sticky detail, a saved tray, keyboard navigation
- seam
- the sticky detail
- renders
- ParcelSearch; any pattern whose records are a large set you narrow rather than a small set you browse
- extents
- page workspace
- cannot_infer

- /parcels
- renderer
- spatial
- canonical_name
- SpatialRenderer
- donor
- MapLibre GL JS
- grammar
- a map canvas with a basemap, a popup, and a detail that stays while the map moves

- the popup and the sticky detail
- renders
- HabitatMap; venues, events, presences, merchants, offers, rides, properties -- any pattern whose records carry a position
- extents
- page section workspace
- cannot_infer
- a drawn shape -> a located one; where the roll carries area and no position the map draws true area at the view centre and says so, rather than geocoding quietly
- extracted_from
- /parcels
- renderer
- work
- canonical_name
- WorkRenderer
- donor
- Plane
- grammar
- issue and obligation density: grouped rows, state chips, assignee, blocking relations, and an action row per obligation

- the issue action row
- renders
- ObligationInbox; approval queues, funding requirements, commitments, waiting -- any pattern whose records are things that block other things
- extents
- workspace
- cannot_infer
- an open obligation -> work anybody has claimed; and a funding requirement is not funding
- extracted_from
- /inbox
- renderer
- inspector
- canonical_name
- WorldInspector

- one subject, its presences per territory and mode, its standing addresses, its audiences, the views available to this caller, and its machine representations -- the AddressPlane made human
- seam
- the mode and verb inspector
- renders
- AddressPlaneDoor; the subject index -- any pattern whose records are coordinates rather than content
- extents
- page workspace

- donor
- grammar
- one addressed media program held in a chaptered player with transcript adjacency, theatre posture and subject-keyed local playback continuity
