Brandhaardjes: protests and riots on a map, collected by AI

It started with a discussion about physical security. You have a meeting at a client, a visit to an office, or just a day out. Then it turns out there’s a protest at the front door that afternoon, a blockade on the route, or worse: riots nearby. Business or private, it affects your visit. Why do we usually only find out once we’re already there?

So I built brandhaardjes.nl. As a test, really just a test, but also to brush up my programming skills. The name is Dutch for “little hotspots”.
