About

What, Why and more importantly When?

What

Open-Footprint is a non-profit initiative to build an open-source platform that monitors the sites you regularly visit, building up a cohesive picture of the information and potential footprint you're placing on the internet.

Why

In the past 10 years social media has been increasingly in the focus of the media, with new platforms popping up all the time. It’s addictive and on paper very useful but like most things it has a dark side.

This project aims to give the user a birds-eye view of their journey across the internet super-highway, in order to help teach better internet safety.

When

Currently in active development, aiming for a 2019 release we're looking for help to guide and bring this project to life. If you know some JavaScript and can spare a little time why not look at our github issue list for something to work on.
