Could you build this?
Partial Building the crowd-reporting map and calculators is simple web development, but getting reliable street-level, real-time power cut data across India requires scraping hundreds of fragmented DISCOM APIs/portals or achieving massive hyper-local user scale.
What it would actually take: A functioning version requires an event-driven ingestion pipeline aggregating scraped data from dozens of disparate Indian state electricity boards (DISCOMs), geocoded via GIS pipelines (PostGIS). The core difficulty lies in reverse-engineering legacy government portals with captchas and handling massive regional variation in infrastructure reporting without reliable official APIs.
