I've been working on this little project on and off over the past year or so, the idea is to have something akin to manual pages(but built-in), self documenting #uxn roms.

So the outside world can peek at the capabilities of a program, build a kind of documentation, and even evaluate things without running the rom. Right now, it can't do much more than read the icon, program informations and the content of menus, but I'd love at one point to make myself a kind of puppeteer program like the old Macintosh menubar populated from the program resource package.

Babysteps, still kind of cool to see all this in one place. I wrote about my plan last year here:

After five years, The Digital Identity Event Horizon is published in full today: three problem statements, ten key findings, and dozens of recommendations across policy, protocol, legal, and social contexts.

It's the largest research study in New Design Congress' eight-year history: eight case studies, hundreds of citations, dozens of participants from government, intelligence, civil society, technology, and the field itself.

It is also, without exaggeration, the most alarming body of work we have ever produced.

The argument is straightforward and difficult to reckon with: Digital identity makes societies brittle. In 2026, we find ourselves in an era of digital identity fetishism: flawed age verification schemes, biometric and facial-recognition authenticators, and fragile state-backed identity programmes are rolling out at an unprecedented rate. And every one of them, whether current or emerging, remains vulnerable to social engineering. The success rate for a non-technical attack on a user is now three out of four. These attacks cost US companies an estimated $1.6 billion in the five years to 2017 alone; by 2024, fraud runs to hundreds of billions worldwide.
