| Hi HN, I built *Sightline*, a Shodan-style search engine for *physical-world infrastructure*. Shodan makes it easy to explore exposed internet services. Sightline applies the same idea to the real world, using OpenStreetMap as the data source. You can search things like: * “telecom towers in karnataka”
* “power plants near mumbai”
* “data centers in paris france” or use structured queries: * `type:telecom operator:airtel region:karnataka`
* `type:data_center operator:google` Sightline: * uses Overpass API for querying OSM features
* uses Nominatim for resolving countries, regions, and cities
* avoids hardcoded geography
* uses deterministic, rule-based parsing (no AI inference) Repo: https://github.com/ni5arga/sightline
