I built a verifiable "human-made" badge without collecting a single file

说明与用途

Verumano 是一个验证人类创作的系统，只存储过程链接和元数据，按需渲染 SVG 徽章，在浏览器中计算文件 SHA‑256 哈希，并提供只读 API 进行批量检查。

问题

Creators want a badge that proves human-made work, can be verified in one click, and can be revoked if false, without uploading files to a platform.

结果

Verumano delivers a privacy‑respecting, revocable badge system that verifies human-made work without storing files, using on‑demand SVG rendering, incremental browser hashing, and a read‑only API for bulk checks.

工作流

• 1. Creator submits links to process artifacts (drafts, sketches, timelapses, raw files).
• 2. Verumano records creator ID, discipline, status (reviewed/declared/revoked), and timestamps in a JSON registry.
• 3. Badge SVG is generated on each request from the registry, reflecting current status and linking to a public verification page.
• 4. Optional SHA‑256 fingerprint of a specific file is computed in the browser using incremental hashing and stored as a 64‑hex string.
• 5. Verification page allows anyone to drop a file and check if its hash matches a registered work.
• 6. Platforms can query a read‑only API to check creator records or file hashes in bulk.
• 7. A jury tool can paste a CSV of entries and validate them against the registry.
• 8. An npm package "verumano" provides client‑side hashing and API calls for browsers and Node.js.

证据

I wanted a badge that means something: someone actually looked at how the work was made, the badge can be checked by anyone in one click, and it can be revoked if it turns out to be false.

So Verumano reviews the process (drafts, sketches, timelapses, version history, raw files) shown by the creator through links, and it never keeps the work itself.

The badge a creator embeds is not a static image. It is an SVG generated on every request from the registry.

Creators can attach a fingerprint of a specific file to their record: a SHA‑256 hash, computed in the browser.

Platforms, contests and juries need to check entries in bulk, so there is a small read‑only API.
