Vibe coded a privacy-first incident map in a weekend

Got frustrated with how most "community safety" apps work — they require accounts, track everything, and never delete your data.

So I vibed out icemap.app in a weekend:

  • No accounts - Just open and report
  • No tracking - Zero user data stored
  • Auto-delete - Everything gone in 7 days
  • Open source - Check the code yourself

Used Leaflet for maps, vanilla JS, Node backend. The whole thing is self-hostable if you want to run your own instance.

Sometimes the best features are the ones you leave out. No login flows, no user profiles, no notification systems. Just a map where people can share what's happening nearby.

Check it out: icemap.app

What features would you NOT include if you rebuilt a popular app from scratch?
