Built in the open

Every legend starts as a pull request

The roster is community-curated. Card art and data are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 — fork it, print it, remix it, and send legends back upstream.

01

Nominate a legend

Open an issue with the person, project, or company and why they belong in the set. The community votes with reactions.

02

Draft the card

Add a record to legends.ts — title, signature projects, skill stack, impact score, and a great quote. Keep it accurate and sourced.

03

Open a pull request

Submit art (or use the monogram fallback) and your card data. Maintainers review for accuracy, licensing, and balance.

04

Ship it

Merged cards join the printable set and the next physical series. Contributors are credited on the card and in the repo.

The card spec

One legend, one object

Every card is a typed record. Add yours to src/data/legends.ts.
