Weather2Geo – Geolocate screenshots from weather widgets
Hi HN, I built an OSINT tool called Weather2Geo that helps locate where a screenshot was taken based on the weather widget data visible (e.g. temp, condition, and local time in the taskbar). People often post these without realizing how specific those values can be in combination. It works by comparing the given weather condition, temperature, and time against current data from thousands of cities. It’s timezone-aware, supports fuzzy matching, and groups results geographically to reduce noise. It’s most effective on recent screenshots, ideally taken within the last hour—since weather and…

In plain words
Weather2Geo is an open-source OSINT tool that identifies the location where a screenshot was taken by analyzing visible weather widget data, including temperature, conditions, and local time. It compares these details against current weather data from thousands of cities worldwide, using timezone awareness and fuzzy matching to narrow results. The tool works best on recent screenshots taken within the last hour and helps locate images lacking traditional metadata clues like EXIF data.

Weather2Geo is a focused OSINT tool that turns weather widget leaks into geolocation data.

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
