Show HN: Threat Radar – Live cyber threat intelligence dashboard
Hey HN, we built Threat Radar (https://radar.offseq.com) – a real-time threat intelligence platform that aggregates data from sources like CISA, CIRCL, ThreatFox, and others into a single live dashboard. The core idea: threat intel is fragmented across dozens of feeds and often locked behind expensive enterprise tools. We wanted something that gives security teams (and curious individuals) an immediate, visual picture of what's happening right now. What it does:
Live dashboard with severity distribution across ~63k tracked threats (critical, high, medium, low) Interactive heat map showing geographic threat concentration, with a European focus Real-time threat feed with search, filtering by CVE, type, severity, country, and tags Timeline view for trend analysis with custom date ranges 100% AI enrichment – every threat entry gets contextualized analysis, impact assessment, and actionable recommendations Community submissions – anyone can submit incident reports or vulnerability write-ups for AI triage API + integrations (webhooks, Slack, email alerts, SIEM/MISP routing) for automation
The free tier gives you full access to the dashboard, threat database, map, and feeds. The lifetime upgrade unlocks custom feeds, automations, and API access for piping data into your own security stack. We're a small team based in Riga, Latvia. Would love feedback from the HN security community – what feeds or features would make this more useful for your workflow?
Show HN: Off Grid – Run AI text, image gen, vision offline on your phone
Your phone has a GPU more powerful than most 2018 laptops. Right now it sits idle while you pay monthly subscriptions to run AI on someone else's server, sending your conversations, your photos, your voice to companies whose privacy policy you've never read. Off Grid is an open-source app that puts that hardware to work. Text generation, image generation, vision AI, voice transcription — all running on your phone, all offline, nothing ever uploaded.
That means you can use AI on a flight with no wifi. In a country with internet censorship. In a hospital where cloud services are a compliance nightmare. Or just because you'd rather not have your journal entries sitting in someone's training data.
The tech: llama.cpp for text (15-30 tok/s, any GGUF model), Stable Diffusion for images (5-10s on Snapdragon NPU), Whisper for voice, SmolVLM/Qwen3-VL for vision. Hardware-accelerated on both Android (QNN, OpenCL) and iOS (Core ML, ANE, Metal).
