People can exploit your social media pictures and so I've made a tool

6 points by Gravyt1 12 hours ago

For a few weeks now, I've been working on a small website, a simple but useful project, which I thought would be accessible to everyone. This site is qualitative enough for me to pay particular attention to. It allows me to better understand how to gain visibility on a project created/bootstrapped by myself.

This site is not revolutionary, far from it, and most of the front-end code is done by lA. Its main objective is to bring together several privacy protection tools. In particular, for the moment, a tool for viewing and deleting metadata that supports many types of documents.

Why? Because many people are unaware that files shared online contain sensitive information:

Photos -> GPS location, date, device model

Docs -> author's name, editing history, comments

Attacks can exploit this data for OSINT, tracking habits, feeding AI models, or even identity theft.

Unlike other tools, it doesn't store any files. I'd like to make the source code available or make the application front-end-only in the future. For now, everything is processed server-side and then immediately returned, without backup, using Python Pillow. So everything is on temporary variables and is cleared at the end of the process.

Eventually, I plan to add a lightweight API, other privacy-related tools, and possibly educational content.

Today, I am looking for new people to use my website, but also contributors in the sense that I created a product hunt page. If you like the idea, a little upvote on Product Hunt would help me a lot. And if you want to test the site or contribute, everything is open!

Thank you (:
