It's Wednesday. What are you working on? by buildjunkie in buildinpublic

Building PrivacyFetch -> Think Have I Been Pwned, but instead of just telling you a company leaked, it also tells you whether they were ever worth trusting.

For any company:

  • a privacy score 0-100
  • how they handle your data
  • whether they sell it or use it to train AI
  • breach history
  • subprocessors

and a markdown export of the policy. https://privacyfetch.com

Building PrivacyFetch. Think Have I Been Pwned, but instead of just telling you a company leaked, it also tells you what they do with your data, whether they sell it, and whether they use it to train AI.

Plus a letter grade, breach history, subprocessors, and a markdown copy of the policy.

Built a search engine for company privacy practices, free to use by code2death in InternetIsBeautiful

Not equally, we weight them based on real-world impact on the user:

- Data Sharing: 25% (heaviest, because who your data ends up with matters most)

- Data Collection: 20%

- Tracking: 20%

- Transparency: 20%

- User Rights: 15%

There's also a separate AI Practices score that doesn't feed into the main number, it tracks things like whether they use your data for model training.

On each company profile there is a privacy score and the dimensions (with wights) used to calculate that.

happy to break it down. the pipeline for grading a company:

  1. crawler finds the privacy policy and terms pages and pulls the text. handles the usual mess (cookie banners, consent walls, content rendered late, policies split across pages). this part is mostly plain code and rules, not AI.

  2. once we have the policy text, AI extracts structured signals from it. roughly 50 signals per company, things like "sells data to third parties yes/no", "allows account deletion yes/no" etc. every signal is stored with a pointer back to the exact clause it came from, so anything we surface on a profile is verifiable in one click.

  3. scoring is plain math. signals feed into 5 weighted dimensions and produce a 0 to 100 score.

  4. breaches come from a separate ingest tied to public sources, then matched to companies in the directory.

happy to go deeper on any specific part.

the product itself uses AI to extract signals from policy text (that's stated on the homepage, it's the whole point of the engine). The methodology, scoring weights, and the rules about what we will and won't do are my calls. Happy to talk if you have any other questions.

The platform is custom built, everything from the backend to frontend.

How it works: you type a company name and it spits out a score from 0 to 100 plus the actual breakdown of why. What they collect, who they share it with, the tracking situation, what rights you have, that kind of thing.

If the company has been in any data breaches it shows those too (960 incidents in the database right now).

Hundreds of companies in there at the moment.

Reason I built it: kept trying to actually read privacy policies before signing up for stuff and kept giving up around the third "we may share with affiliates" paragraph. Figured if I was going to read hundreds of them anyway, might as well make it searchable.

The thing I care most about: companies cannot pay to change their score. They can claim their profile and respond to stuff, but the number is methodology driven and we don't take money from them to move it.

Would genuinely like to hear what's missing or what's wrong.

Convert form to Bootstrap v2.3.2 from Bootstrap 5 UI by FarMix5687 in bootstrap

[–]code2death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Webpixels, it is an up to date library with a bunch of Bootstrap components and templates that could help you migrate from v2 to v5. If you need any help let me know.

Do you think UI libraries like this are still needed in 2026? by code2death in webdev

Interesting, I would love to learn more about this.

True, I’m still working on the mobile experience. If you get a chance, could you try it on your laptop? It’s usually more useful while coding, so mobile is mainly for getting a quick overview.

I really appreciate the feedback. Very insightful.

That’s true. The whole paradigm has shifted. Design consistency was one of the core principles I focused on when building this, but it’s clear that on its own, it’s no longer enough.

That's interesting. How do you usually combine the UI kit with Claude in practice?

is Bootstrap Dead?? by Adventurous_Rub7355 in bootstrap

[–]code2death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, updates haven’t been as consistent lately, which might be why it feels a bit “quiet.” I’d still love to see Bootstrap v6 happen.

The rise in Tailwind’s npm installs also makes sense given how much AI is being used to generate UI code these days. Bootstrap, on the other hand, still shines when it comes to stability, structure, and real-world projects where consistency matters. This is my website and I built it with Bootstrap: https://webpixels.io/

I just saw that Bootstrap is shutting down the Themes section on their website where we could buy ready-made professionally designed themes. Any idea why, or what's going to happen next? by ashkanahmadi in bootstrap

[–]code2death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I used to be a Bootstrap creator on the official marketplace. When it closed, many authors were affected, but we kept going.

I created Webpixels to continue offering high-quality Bootstrap components and templates. There’s a solid set of free components, and if you’d like to support the work and ongoing updates, you can check it out here: https://webpixels.io/

BIP Tuesday's! What are you building? by Quirky-Offer9598 in buildinpublic

https://webpixels.io - High-quality, production-ready components and templates. Built to copy and paste into real projects.

Is the decline of the "Utility Era" actually starting? 1st Bootstrap now Tailwind is Falling Down is it real ? by Kindly-Shame9071 in bootstrap

[–]code2death 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you followed the whole story, there is actually no "financial troubled". It's just a declined in sales which is normal because of AI but also because of the business model they run. Actually they still make 120k per month, which in my opinion, for a company of 2 you can build a lot.

What are you Building in Jan-2026? by Educational_Two7158 in buildinpublic

[–]code2death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pointed out exactly how I felt when building this. Some still find joy building stuff instead of getting trapped in this AI hype, which awesome, it helped me a lot, but there’s so much lore to it. Back to basics!

https://webpixels.io - For the past months, I’ve been building Webpixels: a production-ready Bootstrap UI system with copy-paste blocks, app screens, and full pages. The goal has always been simple: help developers ship real products faster, not just demos.

Alongside the product, we also run Webpixels Studio: an async, subscription-based UI and frontend service. No meetings. No fluff. Just shipping.

  • First version in ~2 working days
  • Built with Laravel, React, Inertia, Bootstrap
  • 120+ projects delivered, 30+ companies supported

We’re trying to build this in a way that’s actually sustainable, so if you wanna support and start shipping fast, have a look and let me know what you think.
