Faux Pas Atlas: an etiquette guide with no verdict field

Description and use

Faux Pas Atlas is an etiquette guide where consensus, not a single author, determines answers. It uses Sanity Studio, Astro, Cloudflare Workers, and the Sanity App SDK to automatically score claims, moderate disputes, and publish verified statements.

Problem

Travelers and locals need a reliable, consensus‑based etiquette reference that avoids single‑author bias and allows community moderation.

Outcome

The atlas delivers consensus‑based etiquette guidance, automated claim scoring, and a transparent dispute resolution process, all running on free-tier infrastructure.

Workflow

• 1. User takes a quiz built from settled claims.
• 2. User views a claim and adds an attestation (rude/fine/depends).
• 3. Sanity Function recompute‑agreement updates claim status based on weighted consensus.
• 4. If a claim reaches 5 attestations with 3 locals and 70% agreement, it becomes Canon; otherwise it stays Attesting or becomes Contested.
• 5. Moderators review disputes via the Dispute Board app, issue rulings, and can split or retire claims.
• 6. Daily expiry‑sweep reopens claims with no recent confirmations.
• 7. New claims are proposed through a form; claim‑dedupe checks for duplicates before opening.

Evidence

Faux Pas Atlas answers one question: is it rude here?

Source

A claim only reads as settled once five people have answered, three of them local, and 70% of the weighted voices agree.
