VerIQ

Public IQ test with cryptographically verifiable results bound to your identity.

Every existing IQ test gives you a screenshot — forgeable in 30 seconds. VerIQ signs your result with Ed25519 and gives anyone a public link to verify it: no login, no trust required. Argue about IQ on X/Twitter? Drop the link. Done.

Status

v1 MVP in active development (2026-10-13). See docs/SPEC.md for the full spec.

Stack

Backend: FastAPI + SQLite (WAL), single VPS, no external services
Signing: Ed25519 (PyCA cryptography)
Frontend: vanilla JS, no build step, mobile-first dark theme
Deploy: systemd + nginx + certbot (scripts/deploy.sh)

Layout

backend/    FastAPI app (main, scoring, signing, db)
content/    question bank (questions.json) + calibration.json
frontend/   static pages (index, test, result, verify)
scripts/    deploy + question generator
docs/       SPEC.md

Run locally

pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn backend.main:app --port 8801
# open http://127.0.0.1:8801

Verify a result

Result links look like /v/Ab3xK9mQ. The verify page shows the score, the bound identity (if claimed), and re-checks the Ed25519 signature server-side. The service public key is published at /.well-known/veriq-pubkey.txt.
