Could you build this?
Partial The scanner UI and search workflow are vibe-codeable, but a thorough self-OSINT result depends on people-search and data-broker data that is proprietary or behind paid APIs. Scraping alone gives shallow and unreliable coverage.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a Windows desktop shell, a search-aggregation layer over public sources, and reliable pipelines for data-broker records and removal requests. The hard parts are licensed or proprietary people-search data, keeping scrapers working against anti-bot defenses, and handling privacy and legal constraints on the removal side.
