Hey folks,

I’ve been working on a project called SCOPE (Simulation for Cognitive Observation of Perception & Experience) and just made the MVP open source.

🔹 What it is:
An interactive, plugin-based simulator for exploring how people perceive and interact with interfaces.

• JSON-driven questions (easy to add your own)
• Abstract diagram style to isolate perception & intuition
• Built with React + TypeScript + Vite
• Extensible plugin system for custom test diagrams

🔹 Why:
I wanted a way to empirically test user intuition and perception that moved beyond theory and into hands-on experiments. The goal is to make it useful for UX researchers, designers, and anyone curious about human-computer interaction.

🔹 MVP status (v0.1.0):

• Choose duration & difficulty
• Several sample questions/diagrams
• Early docs: setup, contribution guide, mockups, roadmap
• Roadmap includes results dashboard + AI-powered summaries

🔹 Screenshots:

I’d love any feedback — whether you think this could be useful in research, teaching, or just experimenting with UX design. And if anyone wants to contribute plugins/questions, the architecture is built for that.

Thanks!
