I was jumped by a group of three men who shouted homophobic slurs at me near their pickup truck outside of The Seal pub in Harwich. Message me if you witnessed the incident or if you have any information.
You guys are building the coolest things, and I don’t want them trapped in my inbox anymore.
Every day, people send me GitHubs, Claude artifacts, spreadsheets, dashboards, prompts, scrapers, bots, FOIA helpers, agency trackers, public official trackers, court trackers, alert systems, etc. Basically all these little accountability machines you’re making to keep up with what’s going on.
I am obsessed with them and don't think they should live in my inbox.
This thread is for anything you’ve built that helps people track power, organize information, monitor institutions, file requests, follow public data, or understand systems that are usually annoying or impossible to follow.
Whatever you are building doesn't need to be perfect or even finished. If it helps you track something, explain something, request something, organize something, or stay up to date on something, please post it here.
THE FUN PART: at the beginning of my live each week, before we get into the topic of the day, I will go through what people have built and linked here. We’ll click through what people are building, talk about what it does, what problem it solves, how others might use it, and how it might inspire someone else to build their own version.
A lot of what I have been building out lately have been private trackers and daily alert systems on GitHub that I can’t fully open up (for obvious reasons), but I can talk through the concept, the structure, and the kinds of things I’m trying to monitor. The point is we should be inspiring each other by using tech to hold tech accountable.
ONLY RULE: Do not post anything that exposes private info, endangers sources, or gives bad actors a roadmap.
If you post something, include the link, what it does, what it tracks, and whether you want feedback, collaborators, testers, or just want to show people what you made.
Bring me your beautiful tracking machines, and let’s build the Drey Dossier toolbox together.
Hey guys!
I've been using Notion for my writeups and notes for a while, and every time I tried to export or sync content programmatically, images were always broken. The official API gives you signed S3 URLs that expire in ~1 hour, so by the time your static site builds, half your images are dead.
So I built a small CLI tool that actually handles this properly, images get downloaded locally and the URLs get rewritten, so nothing breaks.
**What it does:**
- Pulls pages or entire databases as clean local markdown files
- Downloads images locally and rewrites the URLs (no more expiring links)
- Auto-detects your workspace and space ID
- Tracks sync state so it only re-pulls pages that actually changed
- Works with any stack - Astro, Hugo, Obsidian, whatever
**Setup is pretty simple:**
```
npm install -g notion-sync-cli
```
Add your Notion PAT to a `.env` file (Settings -> Personal access tokens, not integrations):
```
NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_xxxx
```
Then just run:
```
notion-sync init
```
It walks you through picking your database or pages interactively, no config file editing needed.
Package: `npm install -g notion-sync-cli`

SeekYou – unified host intelligence across 15 sources, runs free on Cloudflare.
- Built a tool that takes any IP, domain, or ASN and queries 15 sources in parallel: open ports, CVEs, BGP, RDAP, cert history, passive DNS, 5 threat feeds, exposed buckets, Wayback snapshots — all in one report.
- 4-layer parallel execution (total time ≈ slowest source, not sum of all).
- KV caching per source, circuit breakers, per-IP rate limiting.
- Typed diff engine — get alerted when ports open, CVEs appear, or certs expire on monitored hosts.
- Runs entirely on Cloudflare free tier (~5k lookups/day).

I’m interested in learning OSINT. I want to be able to find someone’s address, name, or phone number just by having a photo of them or their username. Can you recommend some resources to get started? What tools do I need? Are there any fees associated with acquiring these tools? How long will it take me to master this skill if I dedicate an hour to learning every day? I’m very detail-oriented and proficient with computers. What are some effective ways to learn OSINT?
I want to start using osint can someone tell me how to start it and get info about ppl?
PLEASE i need this bro
If you vibe-code agents that browse, they probably die at Cloudflare. I open-sourced (BSD-3-Clause) a Chromium fork that fixes that. It corrects the fingerprint in native C++, not injected JS, so it holds up across iframes and workers. Real Chromium on raw CDP, drops into Playwright.
pip install tilion-fortress
Clears CreepJS and Sannysoft in my tests. Does nothing for your IP though.
What keeps hitting bot walls for you?
Greetings r/digitalforensics,
I built a free tool called ChronoVerify that is useful for photo forensics.
It pulls capture time and metadata from EXIF/XMP, validates C2PA Content Credentials, and runs some basic pixel forensics to spot edits.
You get a plain-language verdict instead of just a bunch of raw data. Everything runs in your browser — no images get uploaded or stored.
There's also a free API tier if you or an agent want to script it.
If you try it, I'd be curious what you think, especially those experienced with forensics. Could this be useful to you or the image forensics community?
Thanks!

The problem that bugged me enough to build this:
Most news apps run on an engagement algorithm. They learn what keeps you scrolling, then feed you more of it, usually from one or two outlets, often slanted toward whatever narrative keeps you clicking. You end up in a bubble, reading one version of events, and you don't even know what you're not seeing. Some aggregators are openly biased: they only surface the stories that fit their angle.
I wanted the opposite. A tool that just tells me what's happening, lets me look things up myself, and doesn't put a thumb on the scale.
So I built The Nexus.
No engagement algorithm choosing your news for you. It pulls from 200+ outlets across the spectrum and ranks stories by corroboration (how many independent outlets are reporting the same thing), not by what will keep you hooked. You search across everything yourself instead of being fed.
The part I'm most proud of: it connects the news to the receipts. Behind the headlines, Nexus pulls in the actual public records, 48 government data feeds: federal court dockets, SEC filings, sanctions lists, campaign finance, lobbying disclosures, enforcement actions, and more. And it builds an entity graph, so you can see how people, companies, and places connect across both the coverage and the records.
Two concrete examples:
That's the whole philosophy: show, don't tell. Give people the full picture and the primary sources, and trust them to think for themselves.
Status: Live on the web now (free to explore, no signup needed to look around). The iOS app is in Apple review, coming soon. Built solo, with a lot of AI pair-programming (happy to talk about that).
What I'd genuinely love feedback on:

Happy to answer anything about the build, the data pipeline, or the philosophy.
Thanks for 40+ stars 😭 I started this project out of rage against YouTubeTV, Netflix, and others for refusing to serve content in some locales while traveling. Also, websites can trivially deduce your location even when on VPN because there are dozens of APIs in the browser that don’t even require a permission prompt.
Anyway, it’s still very much a work in progress but wanted to share since I know there are a lot of travelers and VPN users out there
I'm working on a system that pulls geopolitical and cybersecurity events from open sources (official statements, satellite imagery, breach disclosures, conflict trackers, and sanctions filings) and tries to flag when a narrative around an event doesn't hold up against primary sources. Think less "who posted this?" and more "does the claim survive contact with the underlying data."
To be clear up front, this is about events, infrastructure, and narratives, not people. No individual tracking, no doxxing angle, nothing that touches a specific person's identity or location. I know that's a hard line here, and I want to stay well inside it.
Where I'm stuck is the verification layer. I can pull data fine (satellite feeds, news APIs, government bulletins, and breach databases), but turning "here are five sources saying different things" into "here's the most defensible version of what happened" is the actual hard problem. Right now my approach is source-tiering plus timestamp cross-referencing, but I suspect that's naive for anything state-actor-adjacent, where official sources themselves can be the disinfo.
For people who've done verification work on contested geopolitical or cyber claims: how do you actually weigh sources when even "primary" ones might be lying? Is there a methodology from journalism or intel work I should be borrowing instead of reinventing? And is "propaganda detection" even the right framing, or does that just invite bias accusations regardless of how neutral the pipeline is?
Genuinely looking for the failure modes here before I build more on a shaky foundation.

Salut ! Je cherche des sites d'OSINT pour rechercher des informations sur des personnes avec a la base peux d'informations a leurs sujet, par exemple seulement un nom et prénom, une ville ou un département ou est situé leur domicile. Auriez vous des liens a m'envoyer ?
I wrote a Spanish company and officers search tool: https://mapasocietario.es - it works both in English and Spanish.
It is fully sourced from the Spanish corporate gazette, and differs from existing tools because:
It is graph-based. The exploration is free: double-clicking a node expands it and right-clicking on a node offers several options, including data preview
It includes sole shareholdings - the Spanish registry only allows 100% shareholdings to be included and this information is reflected in the graph
Accuracy: Several layers ensure accuracy, particularly when companies change names or provinces.
Additional data: there is a check for an officer's political affiliations, specifically with the Congress of Deputies.
Pathfinder and relationships: You can search the shortest path between two nodes in the graph and if you search more than one company in the same graph you can immediately surface any relationships.
NOTE: The NIF (tax ID) and other data may not be included in the data preview. However, it will be included when generating a due diligence report. This data is not strictly public and therefore, as a privacy-first platform, I decided to include it selectively - only when buying a due diligence report.
NOTE 2: The due diligence report includes an accurate AI analysis specifically tuned for the information present in the report. You can also add Spanish official financial statements (30 minutes delivery) and if you add the financial statements the AI will also include its financial analysis (which has been tuned on the Spanish general accounting rules).
Feel free to let me know if something is missing.
What, in your opinion, is the best Osint Tool on Android? This can include tools that run in a browser.
