Description
Skouta translates Swedish alerts from official sources, including police, public transport, traffic, weather and emergency notices, into English in real time. Everyone living in Sweden, not just Swedish speakers, can finally understand what local authorities are saying. Get all the updates in one app instead of loading your phone with one for each type. Free to use, with a Premium plan that covers up to 5 locations, unlocks advanced filtering and delivers an early-morning Daily Digest.

Could you build this?
Partial While the mobile app and translation integration are straightforward, maintaining reliable real-time scrapers/ingestion pipelines across numerous fragmented municipal and emergency Swedish government feeds is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: A production backend requires robust data scrapers/ingestion workers connecting to Swedish Police RSS/APIs, SMHI alerts, and Trafikverket APIs. It needs a pipeline with deduplication, entity extraction, and translation caching via DeepL API, backed by PostgreSQL/PostGIS for geo-fencing notifications. The primary complexity lies in resilient scraping, schema normalization, and rate/reliability management across disparate public service endpoints.
