Comment on This Looks kinda cool, but does anyone have any experience at vetting a project like this?

It’s a dumbass AI-powered recommendation engine with an awful GUI. That’s about it.
As far as it being malicious, that’s really up to you.

Looks like on Reddit, the creator is blocking people from reporting things like sending data to foreign servers.

That was the red flag for me personally in terms of giving it a try. At the first accusation they said “the code is there, I have nothing to hide” and then it devolved into (paraphrasing) “I took down issue reporting because people kept abusing it.”
So assuming the best case scenario where the code is clean and it’s just a misunderstanding you’re still looking at a creator who is willing to censor the community he simultaneously seems particularly eager to reach by self-promoting his project. Not my jam.
