The Story Behind Our
OSINT Platform
Notable achievements on the road to success.

The idea for creating an OSINT platform for the general public emerged. We began reflecting on how to develop this concept (how to automate processes, ensure fluidity and efficiency), and create a platform unlike any other in the market.
We created a detailed specification document that outlined all the information regarding the development stack and the site's branding. Additionally, we started drafting various features, including promotional functionalities aimed at influencers, as well as features for the everyday user, which would incorporate a remuneration system calculated based on media content statistics. Although development commenced in a very minimal capacity during this first month, we took significant steps towards bringing our vision to life.

This month saw major advancements in the development of the search system and the creation of several interface layouts (many of which remain in use today). We also experimented with optimizing search capabilities to provide a faster, more efficient, and highquality advanced search experience for our users. Furthermore, we developed an initial pricing model (later revised) and began laying the groundwork for our branding. We also successfully integrated a secure database and authentication system, which continues to function reliably.

This month saw extensive work in various areas. First, we integrated Sellixto manage the site's payment system. We also developed the account settings system, introduced a light mode, and completed the second iteration of our branding. In addition, we linked the website with the search API and began refining the results page, including features like detecting registered accounts via email. The most notable achievement, however, was the integration of the first major modules through email.

This month, we finalized the account creation and client account system, as well as the subscription system. We redesigned the account pages, including support for light mode. The credits system was initiated, and we improved the affiliate system, initially considered in June. Additionally, we integrated about 20 new endpoints for username searches (such as Duolingo, forums, etc.). We rebuilt the search system from the ground up to improve efficiency and speed a long and complex task, as we needed a universal, adaptable solution for multiple scenarios (though it was later modified). Error handling was another challenge during this time.

This month started with the addition of over 500 new endpoints related to pseudonym searches. Although it was a tedious task, it greatly improved the efficiency of the pseudonym search functionality. We also introduced an IP address lookup feature, aiming to create something more visually appealing and comprehensive than other IP lookup sites.
Additionally, we realized that we weren't satisfied with how the search loading process worked, so we reworked the search API once again to ensure that elements load progressively (e.g., leaked results load first, cards appear gradually). This also required us to overhaul the front-end of the results page by adding skeleton loading indicators and real-time database listeners. This was a complex phase, but it ultimately paid off. The search experience is now smoother than ever, and the system is robust enough for months to come. The pseudonym search is now fully operational (our focus was exclusively on it, as opposed to email search).
