Outside reading
We will fill this section out as we publish. For now, primary-source archives we routinely use:
- Memoto Kickstarter (2012) — the campaign that became Narrative.
- Wayback Machine snapshots of GetNarrative.com (2014–2016) — what the company said about its own shutdown.
- EFF on biometrics and surveillance — useful framing on the privacy stakes of always-on capture.
