What it does
Like many of you, I was tired of receiving "We've updated our Terms of Service" emails with zero clue about what actually changed, whether my data would be used to train AI models, or how prompt retention policies were evolving. Reading 40 pages of legal jargon for every SaaS tool we use isn't scalable. That's why I built PolicyWatcher: an open civic-tech platform that monitors public policy changes across major tech and fintech companies in real time.
Track privacy policy, terms of service and AI policy updates. Compare recorded versions, inspect sources and follow company policy changes with PolicyWatcher.
Follow public company policies with recorded versions, source links and before-and-after evidence. Find the document that applies to your region, inspect what changed and keep the difference between a text revision and its possible impact clear. Browse company records, policy sources and recorded versions. Each update links to its evidence so you can check the source and the limits of the comparison. Last successful retrieval: 20 Oct 2026 . Counts exclude configured, seeded, withheld and unverified records. Check the source, region and two recorded versions before interpreting a change in data practices. Distinguish product terms, acceptable use, privacy and data-processing documents. Keep…from policywatcher.online

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…
