Why do you feel the need to submit this 4 times over 1 week?

It's a cool site. I like the concept a lot.
With HN, often times things have to be submitted multiple times before they get noticed and "stick" and generate interesting discussions. It's very dependent on luck, and there are no rules against it AFAIK (aside from what the spam detector flags).

this is just crowd sourced data? Looks vibe coded. And immediately asking for donations for a short Claude job, pretty sus?

Good lord, that this is necessary is so depressing.
neverenderr [3 hidden]5 mins ago
Yeah, man, depressing yet the truth.

Just curious, but did any specific anti-corruption campaigns from history in other nations inspire the design here at all?

Just wanted to let you know Twitter, GH, and RSS icons fall behind the nav bar at least on mobile.
What are the differences between a bribe and a tip, given X cultural milieu?

Public servants should neither ask for nor expect either?

What happens to you in India when you are charged builty of bribery? What are the punishments, if any? (for the person receiving the bribe, not the person bribing, obviously)
Also set up a support link for anyone else who'd like to help keep it running: https://bribes.fyi/support

I'm a little disappointed that https://bribes.fyi/bribes doesn't redirect to that support page to be honest.
When I saw the name/tag line I thought this would be a travel advice site, but I like this so much more. Great work.

> Donations don’t influence the data. Supporting the platform buys no special treatment.
How disappointing.

I'm glad that bribery only exists in India and not in the United State.

If it is satire, bravo.
If sincere, congratulations.

It is sincere, btw, thanks.

What do you think lend itself to this culture and how will it change? Is it considered normal / unsurprising / accepted? Like, “just cost of doing business”?
tracking and publicizing them is a great start, bribes are easy to ask for in a fractured bureaucracy where the people taking them aren't closely monitored and the people paying them are generally uninformed
antonvs [3 hidden]5 mins ago
Where do you live? Because “this culture” now exists at the top level of the US government, for example. And in fact, even before the current administration, it was an accepted and legal aspect of government, for example “lobbyists” who handed out checks to the representatives whose influence they were controlling.
In the US, it’s only at much lower levels that this is at all frowned on, especially in government. In private business you’ll still find e.g. apartment managers asking for bribes to do their job properly.

And if you squint a bit and stretch some definitions... then tipping culture isn't a million miles away from bribing culture.
What is a tip if it's not a bribe to not spit in your food?
lozenge [3 hidden]5 mins ago
Has anybody reported a refusal and managing to complete their task? I just see 0% whatever I input.
neverenderr [3 hidden]5 mins ago
Yes, some of them reported refusal reports. You can find them just on the right side of the Transparency map, State Registry Ledger; then you can filter out them by most refusals, or you can also just browse the reports.
