Once you ship this you can't edit the description of the project, but you'll be able to add more devlogs and re-ship it as you add new features!
Welp, finally fixed everything (kinda... I think?)
Sooo, lil recap of my brain meltdown:
made a status page cuz things kept going 💥
added FAQ, password check, status badge (badge makes it feel official idk lol)
header & footer got facelifts
features, how it works, about – all went shopping (a bit)
backend currently stable (as for now) (but like... barely, I breathe on it wrong and it goes 404)
added some backend security (will double check when I trust myself again)
basically… this is all I can do for now
need more resources (aka people want my credit card lol no thx)
but hey, gonna push this project more — just not in devlog format anymore.
dashboard UI is already designed btw 👀 might leak it on GitHub README if I feel spicy.
from now on backend updates gonna be in the shadows (get it... DataShadow… ha...)
also found out Cloudflare R2 is like free but not really (tysm for the 1M A ops limit 💔), so now hunting for new S3/r2-ish thing that won’t cry when I upload 1M files 💀
this is the last devlog (unless I get possessed again with a new project)
thanks if you read these at all
it’s been messy, but fun as hell
made with 0 budget, 6 liters of caffeine, and ✨love✨ by Eric (ft. Claude AI my emotional support bot, and not only;))
Title says it all. Started backend work, uploaded the first dataset (like 4 times lol), hooked it up to frontend — it worked… then backend decided to nope out.
So yeah, from beta-DEMO to 404-DEMO real quick 💀
Too tired to fight with it more today. Already 6+ hrs deep into front+backend.
Scan page is now in maintenance mode (DEMO data yeeted).
Breaches page also broke — dataset articles don’t wanna load.
✅ Current backend status: 500k+ breached accounts uploaded.
🛠 Updates coming tomorrow. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe.
🧠 Brain = fried.
Added a feedback/bug reporting system (Notion-backed, of course).
Now you can politely yell at me if something breaks.
Also fixed some cursed CSS that was fighting for its life.
Optimised SEO, Security
Updated legal pages info
New Breaches page with info about data leaks that will be added to the db.
And other minor fixes. (i'm tired - gn!)
scan
about (don’t read it pls)
how it works (even tho i barely know)
legal stuff (so you don’t sue me)
also tweaked some layout things that I’ll probably undo later
next?
gonna throw this thing online
then ✨pretend to know what SEO and security means✨ before public demo
✨AwUeGsLoYme✨ continues to thrive in confusion.
Added a 404 page — easily the most loved page on the whole site (not even kidding).
Also did some housekeeping: updated the README, added a license;)
Small update. Big heart. 💖
The first full frontend pass is done… kinda.
Trust me — there’ll probably be like 3 more versions ‘cause I’ll start hating this one soon 💀 (not a frontend guy tbh).
Next up: diving into legal stuff!
Yes, the no one reads them privacy/terms pages… but still, don’t sue me pls 🙃
