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.
8. Master-Quality Export Rule
Thumbnail export fixes must preserve master quality at every supported resolution, including 8K formats.
- No export fix may sacrifice output quality in order to restore QR visibility or WYSIWYG parity.
- Export should be rendered natively at the selected output resolution, not upscaled from the live viewport.
- QR codes, URL art, pills, and all generated text should be redrawn sharply at export size.
- Where a source image is smaller than the export resolution, only the image detail may be source-limited. Generated overlay sharpness must still remain high.
9. Text-Only Thumbnail Excellence
When no bitmap thumbnail exists, URL art + QR should still produce a premium export.
- Text-only tiles must not be treated as a degraded fallback mode.
- URL art should scale as small as necessary to fit as much of the URL as possible above the small URL until the design stops feeling dominant, legible, balanced, and cool.
- When that threshold is crossed, the renderer should shorten the URL art to the longest aesthetically valid excerpt.
- Psychologically, the result should feel bold, designed, and poster-like rather than cramped, weak, or overexplained.
10. URL Art Candidate Selection
- Try the full URL first.
- Remove protocol and obvious trailing noise before shortening semantic content.
- Preserve the recognizable domain and strongest path meaning as long as possible.
- Reject candidates that become too tiny, too fragmented, too weak beside the footer URL, or too compromised by the QR layout.
- Export the longest candidate that still looks intentional and visually strong.
