A reminder, not a costume
Remember, remember.
Fawkes Society is a workshop for software that treats people as citizens, not inventory.
About
The quieter door
Fawkes Society is the name for work about privacy, civic memory, or a tool that should stay small on purpose.
The name is a reminder. On the fifth of November, England is asked to remember a plot that failed. We keep the remembering — that people are not a growth metric, and that quiet software still has a duty of care — and we leave the costume.
There is no membership roll, no feed to join, and no account to create. If you need to talk, write to Guy. A person reads it.
Principles
How the work is judged
-
Citizens, not inventory
Products serve people. People are not the product. If a design only works by harvesting attention or identity, it does not ship.
-
Memory you can inspect
If a system remembers you, you should be able to see how, why, and for how long. Hidden logs are not a feature.
-
No growth theater
We ship small, careful tools and leave the rest alone. There is no funnel hiding behind this page.

Email is enough
