Year: 2025–26 · Site: [wiki.receipt.blue](https://wiki.receipt.blue/) · Tags: receipt `receipt-wiki` extends the printer-scanner mechanism from [Receipt Loom](https://fjpaz.net/projects/receipt-loom/) and [receipt sky](https://v1.fjpaz.net/projects/receipt-sky) with support for Wikipedia articles. It is today relatively "wiki-complete" in that it has basic parity with Wikipedia's mobile app, or its standard desktop experience. With a connected barcode scanner (or multiple), it functions as a desktop / roomscale browser for traversing the hypergraph that is Wikipedia. Any given article can be printed from the companion [webapp](https://wiki.receipt.blue), at which point said article can serve as a jumping-off point for the user who printed it, or another who might later happen upon it. The result is a browsing session whose history accumulates in physical space. Printouts can be stacked/[re]arranged, rolled up into scrolls, shown/given to others, etc. ### [civil-war-printing](https://fjpaz.net/projects/wikireceipt/civil-war-printing/) · pair, side by side #### [constitution-post](https://fjpaz.net/projects/wikireceipt/constitution-post/) · post (left) **Josh** [@fjpaz_](https://x.com/fjpaz_) · [Feb 3, 2026](https://x.com/fjpaz_/status/2018687668637323661) Constitution for @caleb_cassell (of http://claude-soul.watch) ![a very long receipt](https://media.fjpaz.net/posts/x-2018687668637323661/2018687668637323661-0.display.716a68ab.webp) > `@AnthropicAI` ([Jan 21, 2026](https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2014005815376568780)) > The full constitution, which applies to all of our mainline models, is released under a Creative Commons CC0 1.0 license to allow others to freely build on and adapt it. > > Read it here: https://www.anthropic.com/constitution Capture: [capture.json](https://fjpaz.net/posts/x-2018687668637323661/capture.json) #### [civil-war](https://fjpaz.net/projects/wikireceipt/civil-war/) · image (right) ![Civil War article receipt](https://media.fjpaz.net/projects/wikireceipt/civil-war.77543fe5.webp) Regions: *[placeholder labels and notes]* 1.
