Stamp Atlas
An honest stamp atlas that would rather say it does not know.
Stamp Atlas is the public face of philatelyOS (the private backend). It publishes candidate stamp records that a person verifies, treats cannot-determine as a valid answer, and draws its own plate art instead of reproducing copyrighted stamps.
Architecture
Stamp Atlas is the reader-facing site over philatelyOS, the private engine. Candidates are proposed by machine and confirmed by a person, confidence gates attention rather than truth, and the publish step is a one-way boundary from a private evidence log to a public projection. The art is original plate work, never a reproduction of a real stamp.
