So what? literally any website you visit that has a http daemon with logs also has your IP address. It's not like they're taking the data you see on the page when you view it, which is unique to your client and whatever last-mile connection you're on at that moment, and re-distributing it to anyone else. If you think the level of data this site shows is a lot and somehow concerning to you, don't ever use any form of modern FAANG social media... There are lots of other tools made by nerds, for nerds on the internet that don't have a privacy policy or a set of legal notices. Not everything needs to be treated like a formal "product" because of lawyers. I imagine you'd probably be highly concerned if you saw IRC and efnet 25 years ago too. look at all these other tools that also don't require you to click through agreeing to a TOS or whatever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41168877 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41168877

> If you think the level of data this site shows is a lot and somehow concerning to you, don't ever use any form of modern FAANG social media I’m not worried about that; I’m just asking who made the website. It’s not a "Show HN", it’s one of these random tools with SEO text and links at the bottom whose only purpose is to be one more part of a SEO farm; I don’t think this kind of thing should be on HN.

  Just so we're clear, you're worried about who made a website that does nothing more than repeat the same data back to your eyes that every httpd in the world that you also visit has and logs? If the community doesn't think it's novel and interesting, they can downvote it.

    > Just so we're clear, you're worried about who made a website that does nothing more than repeat the same data back to your eyes that every httpd in the world that you also visit has and logs? It does do something "more than repeat the same data back to your eyes that every httpd in the world that you also visit has and logs": it has a footer plenty of links to similar websites that are made by the same people, which makes it looks like more a random website part of an SEO farm than a tool made by some hacker in their free time. This impression is confirmed by the history of OP: their account is dedicated to spaming their products; it’s relatively new because their previous one (the same, but lower-case) ended up at -11 rep after having been repeatedly flagged.
