Sunlight apps will always have the problem of anonymity.

1) Preventing malicious fake reports by anons.

2) Preserving the source anonymity of real reports.

Finding a working way out will be very consequential.

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Yeah agreed. To prevent malicious fake reports by anons, I am approving them manually, and I also have spam detection

virajk_31 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Submitting any kind of proof will at least reduce the fake reports, though again there is risk of fabrication of the data however those things can be handled at court!

randysalami 10 hours ago | parent [-]

Proof is more exposure. Substantiate the claim, no longer anonymous enough. Face retribution.

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent [-]

Yeah, that is why I didn't include it.

ykonstant 14 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Indeed, the first thing I would do as a malicious state entity would be to flood any such app with fake reports.

neverenderr 13 hours ago | parent [-]

You can also read the thread now.

ykonstant 11 hours ago | parent [-]

What do you mean?

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent [-]

Oh, sorry, I was replying to someone else. Why would you flood it? Although I am manually approving the reports.

I'll pay you to take it down.

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent [-]

How much? or you can pay to me to keep it alive

arnab777 a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

What if it itself starts taking bribe and doesn't report them .

enos_feedler a day ago | parent [-]

Its already bribing its operators to pay more money or it will stop functioning

neverenderr a day ago | parent [-]

Ahaha, got some serious traffic on the website today; my free-tier Netlify couldn't handle it. Gotta wait till 25th July now.

Why not just self host this? Especially if you're serious about having a way to tackle corruption, you probably want to own your stack.

neverenderr a day ago | parent [-]

Managed platforms keep me free to work on the product.

oh, doing it for Uganda will be great.

Road policemen (and policewomen) are ridiculous, and if they feel free to ask for money on the road you can image what their bosses do in their office.

This is cool, but does it have a "Panic Button" that wipes your phone and buys you a plane ticket

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent [-]

Hahaha, why would I do that?

virajk_31 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Are the reports listed currently legit or demo data? this is really good though.

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent [-]

They are all legit reports, and some are still coming in. btw thanks

kalkayan a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Site not available. do you have a gofund me or something if you need helping with keeping it alive?

neverenderr a day ago | parent [-]

I will create one soon, didn’t realise this can get that much traffic

derwiki a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Site not available This site was paused as it reached its usage limits. Please contact the site owner for more information.

If this is your site, please visit Netlify’s Billing docs page or log into your Netlify account to upgrade your plan.

neverenderr a day ago | parent | next [-]

Yeah, man, can't afford to upgrade :/ I have to wait till 25th july till my Netlify credits to get refreshed.

kalkayan a day ago | parent | next [-]

I'll be happy to buy you some credits for this month. I'd recommend thinking how can you keep it alive in case it gets more visits.

neverenderr a day ago | parent | next [-]

I don't have a gofund yet but you can reach me out here https://www.linkedin.com/in/aryan-nishad-018290291/

neverenderr a day ago | parent | prev [-]

The site is live now. Thanks for supporting this. You can check it out now and can give me your insights as well.

Cloudflare pages is free and as easy as netlify.

neverenderr a day ago | parent | prev [-]

The site is live now; you can check it out now.

coldbrew_dev 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I assume the Russian version of this app is just a feature in the state-sponsored browser that auto-fills your payment details for you?

neverenderr 4 hours ago | parent | next [-]

I don't know about that. Can you tell me more about this?

redberrytea 12 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

You misspelled Israel’s Project Nimbus

I anxiously await the 34th report of bribery.

neverenderr 13 hours ago | parent [-]

There are 35 now; people are reporting

moralestapia a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

This is great, congrats on shipping!

neverenderr 13 hours ago | parent [-]

Thank you; I appreciate it.

yieldcrv 13 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I read a disillusioning statistic that showed that places known for bribery indictments are just places where the system is working

Saying that an unquantifiable amount of bribery is happening everywhere else, and should assumed to be so

kalkayan 6 hours ago | parent [-]

I almost had a strong reading this hahahahah. Can you please expand on the second line I am interested in understanding more about it.

fragmede a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Cloudflare has much more generous free tier.

neverenderr a day ago | parent [-]

I am having some problems with Cloudflare.

oriettaxx 15 hours ago | parent [-]

tedmundy 15 hours ago | parent | prev [-]
