Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
gitBlack is a Farcaster mini app that reframes Black History Month as a GitHub-style dependency tree, presenting Black history through the metaphor of software repositories. The project features 28 repositories released daily, each representing aspects of Black history and contributions to America's foundation that are often overlooked or 'commented out' of mainstream historical narratives. The content uses programming metaphors like commit history and repositories to explore themes of Black presence in technology and society.
