I made a scam detector and build a public database for it

We think this is helpful because scams are getting more out of hand than ever, so we wanted to build a tool that can help people to identify scams instantly and ALSO creates a large dataset to "train" everyone's brain on scam detection patterns. After browsing 10-20 scams, anyone can quickly learn what indicators to look for in subtle (or not so subtle) scams. 1. Upload screenshot of anything you think is suspicious 2. GPT-vision goes to work, extract text and analyze the screentho and give you an instant result 3. Each upload adds to a growing public database, letting everyone to see and…

However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
