    Nerd post incoming! Thought I'd, maybe it will entertain some of you.

    I started screenshotting TSC during 2017, using them as desktop background and slideshows. I desired a balanced collection (and quality standards). To support that, I started tagging and peeking at statistics.

    In 2022 I wanted to experiment with a GUI for this. I've conjured about 100 user stories, and implemented the MVP in Angular. Since then I am merely fiddling with it, following the occasional inspiration. Some things evolved, such as how I conjure slideshows or how do I pick my weekly. The C# part is the magic to suggest the next best activity - or find a suitable example for a tag.

    1) Dashboard, updated today. I took inspiration from YouTube here, replacing tables with previews. The big picture is the first that needs attention - usually tagging. The pictures on the right are the lowest tags, acting as suggestions on what to do next.

    2) Tagging. streamlined. Typing file names and searching for existing fragments? Worthy of nightmares. Instead, I take items from the right and finish a file in 3 seconds. Sorting did help. Under less ideal conditions, filtering and checking an example picture helps to pick the appropriate tag. There are quite a few, as you can see - it made me research and improve my list. Hopper vs Silo? Flat vs Gondola? Clear.

    3) Just a fun screen. Since April 2022, I have a folder with the pictures I want to share eventually. After running a scenario and picking the best pictures, I put them here. I pick something recent - if any - and then fill up to five using random pictures. This stat - needs compressing - shows how old months are shrinking, something like an age tree. The right side acts as a mini memory lane.

    4) I always had a list of routes showing how balanced they are. I'm officially full of Donner Pass, and clearly see the candidates for the GP9 pack (when sorted here or the dashboard). I recently added some fluff features seen on the right.

    5) Another nerd page showing the distribution of tags among the pictures to share. Those with a good memory may recall I had a bit of a Class 33 overload. Still in the lead.

    Thanks for coming along. If any of you have something similar, you're welcome to share. Same about ideas.
