NearMe OSINT — I built a live incident radar for Spain from 15 open data sources
I got tired of learning about fires, floods, road closures and police incidents from the news — hours after they happened. There was no single, real-time view of what's going on around you in Spain. So I built one.
What it is
NearMe OSINT is a free, open-source radar that aggregates 15+ official data sources onto one map: AEMET weather, DGT traffic, emergency services (112), wildfire alerts, NASA satellite fire detections, earthquakes and more.
What it does
- Live incidents + historical events around any location
- Push notifications for incidents near you
- Works as an installable PWA (mobile included)
- Zero tracking, zero cookies — privacy-first by design

I'd love feedback on the UX, which sources to add next, and whether this is useful beyond Spain.
“Whether this is useful beyond Spain” feels like a different question from which sources to add next.
You’ve already built enough surface area that the feedback on those two questions could point in very different directions.
If I expanded NearMe OSINT beyond Spain, which country would you want first, and what public data source would make it genuinely useful there?
I'm deliberately trying to separate two questions:
Is the product itself valuable outside Spain?
Which local open-data sources would matter most in your country?
I'd love to hear from builders in different regions.
The distinction between validating the product outside Spain and validating the best local data sources is an important one.
Those two signals could easily point in different directions.
