A new page, /create, answers the one question the front page kept
hinting at: what can be made here. Three paths - drawing your way in,
teaching a place a behaviour, carrying a piece of the network - each a
list of short cards cut to one measure: what a thing is, then where it
stands, running, landing on the phone next, or planned, with the accent
saying the same. The pulse and the releases keep themselves current.

The front page's informational alternative now says one thing and
hands over to /create with a Learn more link.

# What you can make with redoal, and how far each piece is. Every card
# is cut to the same measure: one sentence for what it is, one for
# where it stands, opening with a status word that the accent repeats:
# Running (green) - in your hands today
# Landing (amber) - on the desktop since 0.1.20, phones get it with
# the next beta; flip to Running after that build
# Planned (grey) - decided, not built
# The two live cards (the pulse, the releases) keep themselves current.
name: What can you make with redoal?
description: >
A drawing is an address. What you make is what you leave at it, what
you teach it to do, or the piece of the network you carry yourself.
Each card says what a thing is, then how far it is: running today,
landing on the phone next, or planned.

- name: A drawing is an address
description: >
The computer measures how your line curves, turns, and keeps
rhythm, and boils it down to a twenty-byte fingerprint.
Similar drawings get similar fingerprints — two spirals land
like two houses on the same street, and that closeness is
the whole network.
Draw a line and the shape itself is where you are. Similar
lines land near each other, and everything else follows: the
voices people left at a place, the ones standing there now,
a line drawn back in answer. No accounts, and no company in
the middle.
icon: lucide:map-pin
- name: Your machine asks the room
description: >
To find someone, your machine asks the machines around it:
"has anyone been near this shape?" Your spiral finds my
spiral directly, peer to peer. The whole directory is the
shapes people know, passed along on a napkin.
icon: lucide:users
- name: Voices stay where you left them
description: >
A drawing is a place, and places hold voices. Listen to the
recordings people left at a gesture, leave your own on top,
and when someone stands at the same drawing right now, just
talk — live, machine to machine.
icon: lucide:mic
- name: Sealed by your own hand
description: >
Every recording and every stored stroke carries a signature
from the leaver's own machine — proof that it arrived
intact and that the same hand made the same things. The key
lives only with you: keep it and you're recognized, delete
it and you were never here.
icon: lucide:stamp
- name: Draw and speak, and you're in

The primitives are the drawn line and the human voice. A
child, an elder, or a newcomer still learning the local
script arrives on the same terms as everyone else — that is
the whole entry requirement.
icon: lucide:hand
- name: Carried by iroh, through varde
description: >
What is left at a place is kept and mirrored by
[varde](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/varde), a small
daemon that moves bytes between consenting machines over
[iroh](https://iroh.computer) — verified, rate-limited, and
legible to the network it runs on. Recordings travel that way,
with no company carrying them.

[UHHM](https://uhhm.no) builds and carries the gesture math,
the relay, and the portal this page runs on — and hosts the
network's first node. It is a prototype and an artwork before
it is a product: what you can touch is real and running, the
transport that reaches across the internet is being built
now, and the rough edges are where the interesting questions
live.
