trending: LIVE refresh — 49 current 2026 bestsellers via Exa scout + local-date staleDays fix

74b3db69497c7be70cc79b338d413f6ff12da416 · 2026-07-06 21:37:04 -0700 · Steve Abrams

- Ran the (approved, metered ~$0.05) design-trend-scout Exa sweep: 6 searches across
  Etsy/Spoonflower/Patternbank/Google trend forecasts + mural sources. Built a fresh
  per-item feed (data/scout-feed.json, builder saved as build-scout-feed.2026-07-06.js)
  and mapped it → bestsellers.json now dated TODAY (49 items, was 50 @ 2026-07-02).
  New signals: Art-Deco now #1 by sales volume, animal-print-with-a-twist = designers'
  top pick, grasscloth+metallic/tweed/block-print texture surge, marble soft-futurism,
  chinoiserie crane murals, Midnight Flora, Pantone Cloud Dancer warm-neutral texture.
- FIX: staleDays computed local-date-to-date in both server.js loadMeta and tick.sh —
  Date.parse('YYYY-MM-DD') is UTC midnight, so a today-local date read after 00:00 UTC
  wrongly showed '1 day ago'. Now correctly shows 'today'.
- The board is genuinely live-fresh; the honesty gap is closed in practice, not just in code.
