I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar spaces.
This project is a great opportunity to learn or expand your skills if any of the stack is interesting to you - a big part of our goal is to help build up the technical skills of anyone who wants to dive in somewhere.
We've got a number of investigators on staff and are starting to get a decent feedback loop with them to iterate on what we're building.
We've also got some unique and useful ideas that haven't been implemented before, and if things go well, we really think this could give a kick-in-the-pants to Maltego and Palantir's offerings, amongst others.
If anyone is interested or wants to know more, please let me know!
