What it does
Search any US address and get a free research brief built only from public records: a live USGS seismic hazard check, US Census address validation, and a curated checklist linking straight to the real FEMA, EPA, USDA, DOT, FCC and municipal sources for that address. Everything checked live is labelled as such. Everything else is marked unverified until you open the source yourself. Nothing is invented. Plus 150+ guides on permits, wiring, plumbing and inspection findings.
Before Regret is free property research for US home buyers: the questions to ask the seller and what to inspect first, for any US home.
Before Regret is a free property research tool for US home buyers. Search any US residential address and get the checks that actually matter for a home of its age and county, the exact questions to ask the seller, and a clear list of what to verify before you sign.

Any single-family home, condo, townhouse, or multi-family parcel, across all 50 states.

Everything else is era- and county-specific research, flagged for you to confirm at the…from beforeregret.com

- AIAn interactive map of US lighthouses and navigational aidsJan 2026 · lighthouses.app · ▲102
This is an interactive map of US navigational aids and lighthouses, which indicates their location, color, characteristic and any remarks the Coast Guard has attached. I was sick at home with the flu this weekend, and went on a bit of a Wikipedia deep dive about active American lighthouses. Searching around a bit, it was very hard to find a single source or interactive map of active beacons, and a description of what the "characteristic" meant. The Coast Guard maintains a list of active lights though, that they publish annually…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
