Mauveine, also known as aniline purple and Perkin's mauve, was one of the first synthetic dyes.
Mauveine is also a software development project of @mjs-actual-blog, currently working on the following:
Heph, a standard specifying a platform agnostic, full encoding of a Forth dictionary designed for translation to any architecture
Gramme, an i386+ operating system for Heph development
Updates for those projects will be posted here, assuming they don't get abandoned.
