Five design directions

Placeholder mockups for the product shapes proposed in docs/EXPLORATION.md. Each design renders the same underlying graph — "things related to a thing" — through a different page contract. The point is to compare layouts, not to ship them.

DESIGN 01

Topic-to-topic explorer

Page per topic. ~10–30 related topics, each with a one-line "why related" snippet. The neutral template — what v1 most likely ships as.

DESIGN 02

"If you liked X, try Y" lists

Vertical-specific recommenders — books, films, podcasts. Each vertical is its own topic cluster with a pillar page.

DESIGN 03

Cross-medium bridges

"People who read X also watch Y." The most defensible angle: no single platform crosses media this way.

DESIGN 04

Tag & keyword landing pages

Aggregate "everything related to <thing>" across media on one page, with outbound links to the canonical sources.

DESIGN 05
