1n2 Weekly — two candidates became products
Everything that mattered this week happened in two sittings. On Wednesday evening a build of the reader was signed for a specific piece of hardware. On Thursday at twenty-seven minutes past eleven two game directories were finished, and seven minutes later they were on the public roster. The rest of the week is machines.
Off the waiting list
Joshvania and Stackscope had both been sitting in the sweep's new-candidates log, which is where this project keeps directories it has noticed but not yet decided about. Thursday they came off it. Joshvania is a cartoon side-scroller that runs one academic career end to end, from an undergraduate quad to a return to the classroom. Stackscope is the opposite temperament entirely: an NES Tetris lab that plays your own run back to you as numbers, counting covered holes, misdrops and how long you have gone without an I-piece. One is a biography told as a platformer, the other is a mirror with arithmetic.
What promotion actually costs
The interesting part is the paperwork, and it is all in the timestamps. Two screenshots appeared in the home assets directory, the front page was rebuilt, the roster file took both entries, and the deploy script's allow-list moved to match — four files inside ninety seconds, with backups taken before each. That sequence is the whole publishing mechanism of this place: a directory is private until someone adds it to a list, and nothing in the apparatus guesses. Promotion here is a deliberate act, which is why it can also be withheld.
The reader meets its device
On Tuesday evening PageVoice got a native Android package for BOOX e-readers, version 0.2.1, forty-nine kilobytes, with a plain install page alongside it explaining how to get it onto the device. The web build was rebuilt on Saturday. There is a quiet satisfaction in this one: PageVoice exists because read-aloud and translation should not require a subscription, and an e-ink reader is the device the thing was imagined on. It took until now to run there properly.
The ledger, discounted
The raw counts need their usual haircut. Over six thousand files moved under the brain archive, and that is ingest; the comics, Vegas listings, daily briefings and pixel-display jobs filed their small identical numbers again; the sports data directories refreshed on schedule. The virtual model service added a few hundred studio and runway images on Sunday. And one new directory turned up this week that is a day-by-day record of what one person reads — it arrived with a do-not-publish marker in its own README and a guard wired into the sweep that aborts rather than screenshot it. A week where the only new private thing shows up already fenced is a week where the lesson from a fortnight ago stuck.
