Find your taste.
Then build on it.
Start with other people’s work. Name what draws you in, what you want less of, and what feels like your own style. Taste Pattern brings visual references and video into one workspace, with feedback you can turn into a creative brief.
Complete application source + setup guide · ZIP download
Start with real work
Explore 113 visual, design, and delivery references plus 47 video references in one Atlas, with creator credits and source links.
Say what fits
Choose qualities you want more or less of, including motifs and symbols. Separate a direction that feels like you from one you admire.
Connect the evidence
From Your style, copy combined feedback into your AI assistant, then paste its JSON interpretation back. No AI service is called automatically.
Keep your judgment
Compare 24 starting directions, 30 real typefaces, and 60 palettes at each size from two to five colors. Record preferences, then confirm, correct, or dismiss interpretations with their evidence.
Your own workspace, from a clean start.
The live link opens the public reference collection. The download lets you run a separate Atlas with your own ratings, notes, rounds, and taste profile.
- 113 visual, design, and delivery references plus 47 videos in one Atlas
- Covers, author sites, presentations, portraits, typography, color, motifs, and symbols
- More/less feedback, personal fit versus admiration, and your own notes
- Your style: combined evidence and interpretations you can confirm, correct, or dismiss
- An external AI handoff: copy feedback, then paste the JSON response
- 30 real fonts, 60 palettes in sizes 2–5, and explicit preference feedback
- 24 starting directions, 10 layouts, and 27 motif, symbol, and annotation treatments
- 10 photographic directions and 14 material styles with attributed examples
- Source code, local setup, database migrations, and workspace export
The Atlas records your choices and links observations to their evidence. AI interpretations need your review; importing valid JSON does not make them correct. The Style lab uses preview studies to help you compare typography and color. Real human recordings support delivery feedback. Finished assets and combined AI interpretation use an external assistant.
The package contains no private ratings, personal taste profile, account credentials, or live database. Film links and editorial catalogue descriptions are included; referenced media files are not.
Run it locally.
You’ll need Node.js 22.13 or newer, npm, and an internet connection for packages, reference images, and embedded video. No paid video editor, AI API key, or ChatGPT account is needed for the local app.
Download and unzip
Download the source ZIP and extract it. Open a terminal in the resulting
taste-atlasfolder.Install and initialize
npm ci npm run local:setupThe setup creates a local database, an empty taste profile, and new local credentials. Running it again preserves your saved work.
Start your Atlas
npm run devOpen
http://localhost:3000to browse and give visual feedback without signing in. Choose Video or visit/videoto open video in the same Atlas. Click Sign in for video feedback; local setup uses the test identityseedy@sites.test.Review your combined feedback
In Your style, choose Copy feedback for AI analysis. Paste the evidence into your external AI assistant, then paste its JSON response into Add AI interpretation. Confirm, correct, or dismiss each suggestion using its evidence links. This handoff makes no automatic AI analysis call.
For new video rounds, save direction in Round feedback and copy the curator handoff. The included
docs/CURATOR.mdexplains that separate research workflow. Use Copy creative brief to guide new samples and bring them back with the upload controls.
Where is my data? What if setup fails?
Visual reference feedback and samples stay in this browser’s IndexedDB. Video records and combined interpretations using the signed-in owner’s video preferences live in protected D1 storage (locally, .wrangler/state/). Export Atlas can include both; Import restores the browser workspace only. Credentials live in .dev.vars and work/curator-config.json; keep them private. The README covers backups and recovery.
If port 3000 is in use, stop the other server and retry. If installation fails, check node --version first. Run commands from the extracted folder, and run setup before starting the app.
Put your own Atlas online.
The included local version runs on your computer. The hosted application uses ChatGPT Sites, a Cloudflare D1 database, and Sites’ authenticated owner identity.
- Create a new Sites project from the extracted source. Have your coding assistant follow the included
docs/HOSTING.md. - Provision your own
DBbinding, apply the included migrations, and configure your owner email and a new curator secret. - Deploy through Sites, seed the empty taste profile, and verify owner access and visitor privacy before sharing.
Sites availability and hosting costs depend on your account. Other hosts require a database adapter and verified authentication. The video records and combined interpretations have one authenticated owner. Visual workspaces stay in each visitor’s browser and do not sync across devices.
Inside the code.
React and TypeScript, App Router conventions via Vinext, Tailwind, and Cloudflare D1. Everything needed to inspect and modify the app is in the ZIP, including the dependency lockfile.
