How a 13-Year-Old is Quietly Building the Internet’s Next Big Knowledge Hubs

At just 13 years old, Gavin Norberg has already developed a digital footprint that rivals much older creators. Operating under the alias Klyr, Norberg is quietly building online encyclopedias, structuring wiki-based platforms, and organizing cultural information in a way that feels both independent and intentional.

Originally from New London County, Connecticut, Norberg currently resides in Culpeper, Virginia. He publicly states that he is done hiding behind misinformation about his identity, including his age, location, and background. This marks a new chapter of transparency and authenticity in his digital presence.

Rebranding for Clarity and Truth

Formerly known online as “vf9e,” Norberg transitioned to the alias Klyr in mid-2025. The change reflects a more deliberate direction in both branding and purpose. The name was selected to symbolize clarity, forward-thinking, and long-term growth—a clean break from early creative experiments. Norberg also emphasizes his commitment to honesty in his public profile. “I’m done lying about who I am—where I’m from, my age, everything. This is me,” he said in a recent statement. “The name needed to match what I was actually doing,” Norberg says.

“This isn’t just for now—it’s something I want to build on.”

The new alias unifies his digital presence and gives his projects a stronger foundation for expansion.

Archive of Tomorrow: Documenting Future Possibilities

One of Norberg’s standout projects is Archive of Tomorrow, a wiki-style platform that explores potential future events, trends, and cultural developments. Unlike traditional encyclopedias that focus on historical or current facts, Archive of Tomorrow aims to document what might happen—offering speculative insights based on emerging patterns in technology, society, and culture.

Each entry is formatted in a neutral, reference-style tone, presenting plausible scenarios with careful consideration. Norberg views this project as a way to encourage curiosity and preparedness for possible futures.

“The future is always uncertain,” he explains. “I’m trying to organize ideas so people can think ahead.”

The Aviation Incident Archive

In contrast to the speculative focus of Archive of Tomorrow, Norberg’s second major project is more technical: the Aviation Incident Archive. This platform tracks and summarizes aviation accidents, near misses, and safety events across the globe. Each article follows a consistent layout—date, location, aircraft, incident summary, and aftermath—making the database clear and accessible for readers of all levels.

While aviation archives exist elsewhere, Norberg’s version is notable for its simplicity and clarity. His summaries are written in everyday language but still aim for accuracy and respect toward the subject matter.

The goal isn’t sensationalism, but education.

Built for Independence

Both platforms are built on MediaWiki, the same open-source software used by Wikipedia. Norberg handles setup, design, and content writing entirely on his own.

Unlike content creators focused on growth metrics or monetization, Norberg isn’t chasing likes or views. His work is intentionally quiet, steady, and structured for long-term preservation.

“I’m not trying to go viral,” he says. “I’m building something that will still matter years from now.”

This approach sets his projects apart—free of ads, algorithms, and influence chasing. They exist not to entertain, but to inform and document.

Looking Ahead

Norberg plans to expand both archives in the coming months. Future additions could include new domain branches, thematic forks of Archive of Tomorrow, or collaborative edits with trusted contributors. While most of the development is currently solo, the platforms are structured to support growth and outside participation in the future.

Though still in early stages, both Archive of Tomorrow and the Aviation Incident Archive are updated regularly and continue to grow in both scope and depth.

A New Kind of Creator

In an online world obsessed with personality-driven content and constant noise, Gavin Norberg—under the alias Klyr—is proving there’s still space for thoughtful, long-term projects.

By focusing on structure, neutrality, and sustainability, Norberg is carving out a path rarely seen in youth-led content creation. Whether he’s preserving potential futures or documenting aviation events, his platforms aren’t just websites—they’re digital archives for a future internet that remembers.
