Unknown origin
Media with no recorded source and no hashes cannot be checked, updated, or trusted when a product changes.
Spis — interface references you can cite
An open corpus of 700 real-interface records across 13 families. Every record states its source, hashes, provenance class, and measured state, so the reference and its evidence travel together.
- 700 records
- 13 catalogs
- Apache-2.0
- Provenance per record
A screenshot without provenance is a guess
Screenshot libraries show pictures of interfaces with no way to tell what was measured, where the media came from, or whether the numbers attached mean anything. When you quote a pattern, you cannot say what evidence stands behind it.
Invented completeness
Libraries imply coverage they never measured; nothing tells you which parts were actually examined.
The index is generated, and it refuses to lie
Catalog pages are rendered from records by a generator that compares the index, the records, and the files on disk, and refuses to publish a disagreement.
