bribes.fyi is an anonymous platform where anyone in India can report bribery without creating an account. Reports are manually reviewed before publication, IP addresses are never stored in raw form, and aggregated data reveals corruption patterns across departments, cities, and services. The goal is simple: make everyday corruption measurable instead of anecdotal.

Maker
📌
I built bribes.fyi because I realised there was no public, structured data on everyday bribery in India - only scattered stories.
The goal was simple: let anyone report bribery anonymously while keeping privacy a first-class feature (no login, no raw IP storage, manual review before publication).
The project has already survived privacy critiques, spam attacks, and a Hacker News spike of 182k requests in an hour. Every bit of feedback has made it better.
I'd love your thoughts on the product, privacy model, or anything you think could be improved.
Report
this is a really cool idea honestly, anonymity is the make or break here so good call on the IP stuff. one thing though, you should add a way for reporters to get notified if their report actually leads to an investigation or action, like a follow up feature with a unique code they chose. would give people a reason to keep reporting and feel like it mattered
Report
Love the idea of making corruption data visible instead of just whispered about. One thing that might really help is adding a simple "share to WhatsApp" button on each report since that's where most conversations actually happen in India. Could turn individual stories into something that spreads quickly and puts pressure on the right people.
Report
Finally something practical for the problem everyone talks about but nobody tracks. Liked that you can submit without signing up, and seeing the city-wise breakdown makes the data feel useful rather than just a vent board.
