This page is a live placeholder inside a growing global documentation system.
MyAnythingList and MyAnythingGrid are being documented in a way that is clear, inspiring, and translation-ready.
This page exists now so the documentation structure works immediately instead of leading to a dead end.
Full documents for vision, system design, playlists, thumbnails, printing, streams, and editing will be added soon.
What already exists?
- A working multilingual folder structure.
- Live pages instead of broken links.
- A stable English reference source.
What comes next?
- Full documentation in this language.
- Practical guides for creators and developers.
- Clear public-facing explanations for global use.
Long-term vision
The long-term goal is a beautiful public knowledge system that helps people learn, build, print, share, and think more clearly.
The small English line below remains only as a graceful exit toward default documents.

English Requirements
v09 Delta — Export and Naming
URL Art is a textural thumbnail class and must export exactly like any other thumbnail source. Exported thumbnails must always preserve the live tile composition order and must render at the selected output resolution without unnecessary quality loss. QR appears in export whenever visible in the live tile. Thumbnail downloads use informative timestamped names beginning with MyAnythingThumbnail_.

v10 Delta — URL Art, Full-URL QR, and Uploaded Image Fit
URL art is a textural thumbnail class. Live tiles, downloaded thumbnails, and printed/exported output should preserve identical scaling, proportion, and placement relative to the selected output resolution. The system should enlarge URL art to use the readable panel area whenever that remains legible.
QR codes encode the full valid URL line, including anchor-comment fragments. The QR layer is independent of thumbnail imagery and must never become the background image or a stretched substitute for the tile texture.
Uploaded thumbnails and replacement-image thumbnails should scale to fit the panel logically, prioritizing full-image visibility for custom replacements rather than arbitrary cropping.
v14 Delta — Educational Mission, Transparency, and Misuse Resistance
MyAnythingList is a public educational system intended to help ethical, curious, and globally diverse people learn how information can be structured, inspected, rendered, and shared. The project should favor transparency, inspectability, multilingual access, and source-aware communication over black-box presentation.
- Open documentation, visible runtime logs, and educational commentary in code are intentional safeguards.
- The system should encourage understanding, attribution, and critical inspection rather than manipulative opacity.
- Language support should treat world language communities equitably, including both LTR and RTL interfaces.
- The project should be designed so good-faith users can learn it quickly and adapt it responsibly.
- No documentation update should erase the project’s educational and civilizational purpose.

Thumbnail Composition and Export Additions
Thumbnail output is central to the product promise. A thumbnail is not merely a cached preview; it is a composed communication artifact that can include imagery, URL art, QR, pills, labels, safe areas, and panel-specific presentation rules.
Accepted thumbnail modes
- image thumbnail + QR + overlays
- text-only URL art + QR + overlays
- image-only where appropriate
- fallback panel states that still preserve visual order and readability
Quality rules
- Thumbnail downloads must preserve panel aspect and accepted WYSIWYG composition.
- When source images are uploaded, containment-style rendering must preserve the image without casual distortion.
- URL art must scale aggressively into the readable area while keeping room for QR and essential overlays.
- The full URL should fit when reasonably possible; clipping is reserved for genuinely extreme cases.
- QR must never be treated as a background image. It is its own layer.
Recent v23 Work Topics Captured Here
- scrolling and panel behavior must not destabilize thumbnail layout
- downloaded image aspect and panel output should remain WYSIWYG
- contain-style thumbnail handling is part of the accepted behavior set
- fit controls, header text visibility, and export correctness belong to the same user-trust surface and must be tracked together
