What it does

A web tool to check which servers a website requests, and where they are located in the world.

German court has ruled that embedding Google Fonts violates GDPR because IP addresses are sent to the US. Austrian and French court has ruled that transferring IP information outside the EU is a breach of GDPR, given how it may be combined with other bits of data. By embedding data from other servers on your webpage in video-, script-, iframe-, and img-tags, you transfer IP information outside the EU. To make the matter more complex using servers outside the EU is not necessarily a violation of GDPR if the data is being transferred to US companies that are part of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This website does an initial check if you send any data outside of EU. If your company is…from violating-gdpr.com

    Yes, it's open source: https://github.com/lissy93/web-check :) Why I'm building this? There are a lot of tools out there for discovering meta and security data relating to a website, IP or server. But currently, there isn't anything that does everything, all in one place and without a paywall/ user sign up. It's still a WIP, and I'm working on a new version, with some more comprehensive checks, so any feedback would be much appreciated :)

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
