   so the thing i'm working on can be used by domestic violence victims, people wanting to augment/complement their home security systems (camera, surveillance etc) with signal intelligence data so things/devices/people that can't be seen visually can still be "heard" and triangulated, and i suppose "tactical" teams of sorts.

   my primary motivation was a dangerous DV situation i experienced. i had the idea that the person might come around and their phone would automatically connect to wifi

     so i had an alert set to where if their device showed up on my networks and did a dhcp request or made any dns queries, that i'd get an alert. it's went from there to something much more comprehensive. i think certain groups of people would find this type of alerting useful if made accessible and easy to do, which is what i'm making right now.

     will likely open source it soon for help. might eventually do PCBs and official devices to sale/give support for.

     alternatively a goal is to allow people to cobble it together themselves with devices they have on hand (rpi, wifi adapters, bluetooth usb gps etc etc)

     it has heuristics/analyses and scoring systems. it can do custom/expandable perimeters with nodes.

     anyway, if this sounds cool or like somehting you or someone you know would use, lmk. it'll motivate me to not stop working on it.
