Show HN: Soham Parekh inspired – a community log for frauds by individuals

4 months ago 2

The Soham Parekh story popped up, and I felt an itch to build — purely out of amusement — and the urge to see if something useful might could come out of it.

A community-led noticeboard of harmful or exploitative behavior by individuals. This isn’t a polished product. It’s basically a public database with a fancy background. No monetisation.

How it works:

Think Glassdoor, but for individuals Reports require verified identity (e.g., company email) The person named has a public right-of-reply Searchable via LinkedIn or email

What it’s not:

A place to vent about “bad vibes” An anonymous rumor board A fact-checking platform — it’s a public report, not a verdict

Would love thoughts on moderation, false claims, and whether this kind of thing should even exist.
