πŸŽ‰ Milestone unlocked: first 100 users!

StealthHound just crossed 100 active users on the Chrome Web Store

Built to make invisible tracking visible
StealthHound analyzes websites for fingerprinting & tracking risks and surfaces them in a simple, user-first way.

Proximity Lock System was Staff Picked on Peerlist πŸŽ‰

Hey Proximity community

Quick update from the builder side
Proximity Lock System was Staff Picked on Peerlist today, and also landed me in the Top 100 Builders (#60) over the last 30 days

A small observation from the last few days of working on Proximity Lock System.

After a recent external mention, the project saw a noticeable increase in traffic, with a majority of visits coming from new users. What stood out more than the numbers was the type of feedback that followed mostly around edge cases, Bluetooth reliability, and real-world usage scenarios.

It s a good reminder that distribution isn t just about reach; it s often the fastest way to uncover assumptions in a system-level tool.

It s encouraging to see a CLI-focused, security-first open-source tool resonate beyond Product Hunt.

StealthHound - Your browser's blind spots, Exposed.

StealthHound exposes and blocks hidden browser fingerprinting and silent tracking in real time, even without cookies or logins. Get instant risk signals (Low/Medium/High), live alerts, and automatic blocking of invasive techniques like canvas fingerprinting, API abuse, and hardware probing. Runs fully locally with zero data collection and no browser slowdown. See who’s tracking you, how they do it, and shut it down before profiling starts

Huge thanks to the Product Hunt community πŸ™

Proximity Lock System ranked #4 Product of the Day on Nov 15, really grateful for the support and feedback.

Building this CLI reinforced how much people still value simple, reliable tools that quietly do one thing well.

This was the second launch of Proximity Lock, and I m continuing to iterate based on real usage feedback.

πŸ“± Mobile Development - Then vs Now

When Android & iOS arrived in 2007 08, it kicked off a golden era for indie developers. From simple utilities to quirky experimental apps, anything could thrive, even without high-end graphics or complex systems.

That window kept expanding till ~2017.

But post-2021, everything changed.

πŸ”§ Late-night hacking on the next Proximity-Lock update

Been polishing a new version of Proximity Lock System, now with a clean, aesthetic style CLI interface

Spent the last few nights refining the user experience to make the terminal feel powerful and beautiful at the same time minimal, fast, secure, and hacker-vibes approved

Releasing next week, excited to share more soon!
