Hey everyone! Following up on the TraceBack Systems core, I just pushed a major public utility to production: TraceBack Alert.
This is a real-time crisis coordination hub for Pakistan that strips away database reliance in favor of live network requests and zero-storage processing.
The Tech Stack & Features:
Dual-Redundant Python Scrapers: The backend runs a strict 24-hour time-filtered script that concurrently scrapes the Dawn News and Express Tribune RSS feeds, utilizing regex to isolate security threats and tag them by specific cities (scaling 150+ cities).
Live Seismic & Relief APIs: Integrated the USGS earthquake network and UN ReliefWeb API to dynamically render natural disaster alerts.
Secure Geolocation & Mapping: Uses the browser’s native GPS to ping Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), reverse-geocodes the user's city, dynamically isolates their feed, and scans Overpass for the exact distance to the nearest medical facilities.
Cloud-Native Deployment: Deployed via Vercel using WSGI to run the Python/Flask backend in a serverless environment.
Just like the main system, this was coded utilizing cloud IDEs. It’s built to be a fast, accessible public utility during urban emergencies or natural disasters.
Would love feedback on the API routing, the dynamic JavaScript filtering, or the UI responsiveness!
