Really weird that nobody in the thread is pointing out that this is basically a website that says "give me your photos, specifically from protests, which have details that you want to keep private".

It doesn't matter that it theoretically all happen in the browser. You can serve different versions to different IPs etc. Every heuristic in me would be screaming don't use that if I would have a need for such tool.

It's a static site running on GitHub pages, over HTTPS, directly out of a linked repo so you can examine the source code. I literally could not imagine a more transparent way to serve this application.

The only way an attack vector is possible here is if you think GitHub themselves would maliciously inject an altered version of the code in the repo, and even then you'd be able to see the code and network requests in your developer tools.

Just distribute the code for local execution? Sure, it's less accessable for the target audience, but it is more transparent.

But what else is new? Most users are willing to sacrifice privacy and security for convenience. That's how we got into this whole mess.

People are free to use the source code and run it themselves.
