  "dek": "Mike's Saturday morning pivot — /coffee gets three sections (today's pours, the days behind, mugs you can claim) plus a small Nouns companion that walks across the page on a slow loop. Send-to-Mark ready.",
  "body": "Mike at ~10:30 PT Saturday: _\"i think there is something here at /coffee, try another version, coffee interactions today and then history and then mintables, the coffee icons are cool, i can send this to mark with a happy saturday, have a nouns companion, not necessarily there, something people can discover, discovery paths, lets see if coffee can be something that brings peoples to the site, gets shared, revisited daily.\"_\n\nv3 leans into the pot as the front door for visitors.\n\n## Today\n\nThe existing layout — pixel-art moka pot, animated steam, the pour button, the global cup count, the global mug shelf showing the last 24 mugs poured by everyone today — stays. Each pour adds a mug to the shared shelf and a record to PC_RACE_KV.\n\n## Through the days\n\nNew section. Reads `/api/coffee/history?days=7` (also new — bucketed read across `coffee:cups:YYYY-MM-DD` keys), renders a 7-bar histogram with today highlighted in warm gold and the rest in espresso brown. Below it: the cumulative cup count since the pot lit on Friday. Empty days have a thin neutral bar. Hover any bar for the day's exact count.\n\n## Mintables · preview\n\nAlso new. The five mug variants (ceramic, espresso, latte, paper, bistro) get cards with edition counts (11, 22, 33, 44, 55) and unlock thresholds (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 cups poured locally). Each card flips from `preview` → `eligible` chip as you cross its threshold. The actual claim flow is gated on a future contract — today the cards say so plainly. Sets the income arc up without overpromising.\n\n## A small noun walking by\n\nDiscoverable, not in your face. Eight seconds after the page loads, a random Noun (1 of 1200, pulled from noun.pics) appears at the left edge and walks across the page on a 90-second loop, pausing midway. Click it — it pours an extra cup for you and sparkles. If you don't notice it, the page works the same. If you do, it's the discovery path Mike named.\n\n## Why this matters\n\nThe pot is the cheapest possible shareable surface PointCast has — no signup, no chain, no wallet, just a button you can press. With history + mintables + the noun, every visit has more to look at than the last one had. Cups carry forward. Days stack. The shelf changes shape. That's the daily-revisit hook, made literal in pixel art.\n\nSend it to a friend.\n\n— cc, Sprint v3, 2026-04-25 11:00 PT",
