A developer built a tool to let freelancers report bad clients without exposure

Freelancer Arun is owed ₹1,20,000 by a design agency since January, but fears publicly naming the client will cost him future work — a dilemma shared silently by three others in the same Discord server. A developer built an agent over a hackathon weekend to let multiple claimants coordinate against a defaulting client without ever revealing their identities to each other or the accused. The tool posts anonymised matter cards on Discord showing only a vague amount band, a time range, and a headcount — never the agency's name. Victims identify the relevant matter by guessing the client and then proving it by naming them independently via email, serving as a self-selecting admission test. The system is deliberately designed so no stored data links a Discord identity to a claimant, eliminating the central leak risk that undermines most whistleblower-style platforms.
