Manual Lab
How to use Manual Lab
Manually bucket posts alongside the automated topics pipeline: you only fetch posts from the database—clusters, exclusions, and one-offs live in this page until you export or clear them.
- Load the inbox. Choose a date range (start and end), sort, and optional search. Matching posts land in Inbox.
- Drag to organize. Move cards from Inbox into Excluded (junk or off-topic—out of clustering), One-offs (valid posts without a cluster), or a topic cluster. Each post stays in only one cluster; dropping elsewhere updates that assignment.
- Shape clusters. Use New cluster, name it, drag posts in, remove them from a cluster if you change your mind, or restore from Excluded when needed.
- Export when ready. Download JSON or PDF to keep a snapshot of your layout (exports do not write clusters to Supabase).
- Autosave vs reset. Your layout drafts per date range in this browser. Clear Lab resets clusters, Excluded, and One-offs for now; Clear saved draft discards stored draft (
