I Vibe-Coded a Cryptid-Reporting Station on Sanity (and the Workflow Rejects Bigfoot Blurs)
Built a cryptid field station on Sanity where hikers report sightings, an AI workflow (Gemini with a skeptical-editor prompt) plus a human ranger verify them, with a live command center. The pipeline auto-advances strong reports, auto-rejects obvious fakes (including a control jackalope that admits to being taxidermy), and appends verification docs to every transition. The demo runs at two Vercel URLs, uses Next.js, OpenCode with Muse Spark, and includes 7 cryptids with 12 seeded sightings.

score
score 8 out of 10. 0-10: how dense the facts are, multiplied by how much you can do with them after reading. 8+ means the topic's evidence bar is met: benchmarks and availability for a new model, amount and investors for a funding round, revenue figures for a solo-money story. Below 5 an item does not enter the digest. A press release scores 3 or less, a reprint loses 2, anything older than 14 days loses 1, a headline that misleads loses 3.
