Been using some of my nights to add more features to Vigia.co . This time, I wanted to add a News section so I can share videos as well as Instagram posts that I think would help immigrants with knowing their rights w #ICE.
What started off as an idea to create an app for the community to mark the locations of ICE agents turned into so much more:
English Language to Spanish Text
(for Spanish folks to understand whats happening)
Pre-Made Buttons for English Responses
(So you dont have to speak at all and worry about profiling)
A section on your rights under the Constitution
(English and Spanish.. working on arabic, Somali)
Proof Mode – Turns your phone into a voice recorder with button responses. Saves your interaction with GPS location and a copy to share on WhatsApp.
Using a combo of things from StackBlitz ElevenLabs OpenAI Suno and other AI tools. This is the kind of stuff people in the communities that look like me need to see. How AI can be used to close that digital divide. Excited to see what folks like Mira Murati and folks at Thinking Machines Lab do in these spaces.
In the meantime… off to go fight this fight. If you know someone who can benefit from this… pass it on.
Know someone whos benefitting from all of the DOGE stuff and now has millions theyve taken and they feel guilty? Have them donate. buymeacoffee.com/aboutrc
