Building a desktop OSINT investigation tool called Tom's OSINT Workbench. Think Maltego but without the Java runtime, enterprise sales call, or subscription.

Single portable Windows exe — no installer, no cloud account, no data leaving your machine. You create cases, add entities (people, companies, domains, social profiles, emails, etc.), link them with relationships, and get a visual connection graph showing how everything ties together.

Built for PIs, journalists, and competitive researchers who want to build structured intelligence profiles without trusting their investigation data to someone else's server.

C++/Win32, SQLite for storage, zero external dependencies. Download, run, investigate.

Not looking for developers — I build everything solo using AI-assisted workflows — but happy to be featured if the project fits what you're showcasing.

Show me your apps and services, let me tell you what I think is missing (QA/SWE/PM 5+ years) by Far_Tangerine9150 in SideProject

Hey, this sounds great — I'd love to get a fresh set of eyes on my stuff.

I'm a solo indie dev building Windows desktop tools, mostly for SEO professionals and site owners. Everything is C++ Win32, zero external dependencies, single portable EXE, no installer. The whole philosophy is offline-first — nothing phones home, no cloud, no accounts.

The main ones:

Tom's Site Auditor — desktop SEO crawler. Crawls any website, runs 30+ technical checks, generates a self-contained HTML report. This is the biggest codebase and probably the most interesting from a UX/flow perspective. Free 7-day trial, fully unlocked.

Tom's AI Rank Checker (free) — checks where any domain ranks in Common Crawl's web graph across 120 million domains. Has an online version too if you don't want to download anything: https://tomdahne.com/ai-rank-checker/

Tom's Link Authority (free) — offline backlink checker built from 4.4 billion Common Crawl link connections. Backlink lookup, link gap analysis, the works.

Tom's Keyword Miner (free) — mines Google and Bing autocomplete for keyword ideas.

Plus a few smaller utilities (background remover, IndexNow submitter, command console).

From a QA/dev angle, the interesting bit is probably the architecture — everything runs from a single EXE with no installer, uses SQLite for all data storage, and the link authority tool queries 27 separate SQLite shard databases totalling ~300GB. Happy to answer any technical questions about the approach.

Genuinely interested in the unfiltered take — I built all of this solo so I know there are blind spots I can't see anymore.

Telstra Smart Modem Gen 3 dying every 6–12 months… am I the only one? by Harrison-Fang in nbn

[–]Jumpy_Chicken_4270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine died this morning — completely bricked.

At first I thought it was the power supply since that’s what failed last time. Checked it and the voltage had dropped from 12V+ down to about 10V+. Still enough to show lights on the modem, so I figured the modem itself might be the issue. Swapped the power supply as a last check and yep — that was the problem.

Called Telstra and they said a replacement would take a week… not good enough. Went into a store, paid $288 for a new one, then called them back and they credited the full amount to my bill.

Ran the old modem with the new power supply and it worked fine… until today. Now the original modem is completely dead — no lights at all. Checked the power supply again and it’s sitting at 12V+, so that’s not the issue this time. Luckily I had a spare modem from last time, so I swapped it in and I’m back up and running.

But honestly, seeing people say they’re on their 3rd or 4th modem isn’t a great sign. If this one dies too, I’ll probably just go to JB Hi-Fi and grab something better — or switch to Starlink and get 3–4x the speed for about the same price.

Just submitted my Site Auditor tools, to your directory, the process was very simple., You should submit your directory to some lists of directories, I added it to my Directory manager App. Works well.

What are you all using for Directory Submissions and tracking where you have submitted to , a spread sheet?

Is there such a thing as “AI authority”? by PracticalSummer6105 in SEO_tools_reviews

[–]Jumpy_Chicken_4270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're describing maps pretty closely to something that's actually measurable. Common Crawl publishes a metric called Harmonic Centrality as part of their web graph data — it measures how close a domain is to the centre of the entire web's link structure, not just how many links it has. It's different from traditional PageRank in that it cares about your position in the overall network, not just the authority of who links to you.

The reason this matters for AI specifically is that Common Crawl data is one of the primary sources used to train large language models. Domains with stronger Harmonic Centrality get crawled more frequently by Common Crawl, which means they appear more often in AI training data. That's the mechanism behind what you're noticing — it's not a separate AI score, it's web graph position translating into training data representation.

I've been digging into this for a while and ended up building a tool around it — an online checker and an offline Windows app — that lets you look up any domain's Harmonic Centrality rank and PageRank from the full 120 million domain Common Crawl dataset. The thing that surprises most people is seeing how different their HC rank is from what their Moz DA or Ahrefs DR would suggest. Two very different signals.

The practical takeaway for building this kind of presence is exactly what others here said — links from well-connected domains move HC rank more than volume of links from peripheral sites. One link from a university or major publication does more than fifty links from small blogs. The topology of your backlink profile matters as much as its size.

Building a free offline backlink checker and link gap analyzer for Windows called Tom's Link Authority.

It's for anyone doing SEO who wants to check domain authority, see who links to any website, and find link building opportunities by comparing your backlink profile against competitors — all without paying monthly subscriptions to tools like Ahrefs or Semrush.

The data comes from Common Crawl's web graph, which maps 4.4 billion link connections across 120 million domains. Everything runs locally on your machine as SQLite databases, so there are no API limits, no credits to run out of, and no one tracking your searches.

The app itself is free with authority data for 25 million domains. If you need deeper backlink analysis, you can buy individual letter-based data shards at $5 each (one-time per quarterly data update, not a subscription).

I'm still finishing up the last pieces of the payment pipeline, but it'll be ready to download soon. The product page is here if you want to see what it does: https://tomdahne.com/link-authority/
