The home for conflict geolocations

Vidit is the open source platform where OSINT/GEOINT analysts publish, archive and share geolocated events from armed conflicts.

For everyone

One interactive map

Every geolocation the community submits, on one map you can filter by conflict, source kind, date, or analyst.

Proof, not just a pin

Each geolocation carries its argument: the footage of each source next to the satellite view, annotated anchors, coordinates, event date, and source kind.

Open source, end to end

The entire platform is AGPL-3.0 on GitHub: auditable, forkable, self-hostable. Infrastructure the community can trust because it can read it.

Open to read, no account

The map, every event page and every profile are public. No account and no paywall: the record is there to be read.

For analysts

Your history, imported in one step

Upload your official X archive and every geolocation you've already published is backfilled as detections you review and vouch for. No manual re-entry.

Tag @ViditBot, it's archived

Tag @ViditBot under a geolocation post on X and it lands here as a structured detection, with an in-thread reply telling you what was captured. You never leave your workflow.

Your work outlives its source

Every image and video is copied to Vidit's own storage as a permanent, locked record, so it survives even when the original is deleted, the channel vanishes, or an account is banned.

A portfolio that speaks for you

Your public profile reads as a portfolio: your insights, a coverage map of your geolocations, and rich link previews wherever you share it.

Roadmap

  1. In progress

    Sites

    A new kind of record for permanent locations such as military installations, each marked active or former, next to the dated events.

  2. Planned

    Moderation

    Readers report events and profiles to a moderation queue, every upload is scanned and stripped of metadata, and a public content policy sets the rules.

  3. Planned

    Readers and contributors

    Anyone can sign up as a reader to follow analysts. Publishing belongs to contributors, who earn the status through a verified X handle or another contributor's sponsorship.

  4. Planned

    Safer sign-up and sign-in

    Sign-up resists automated abuse, and sign-in locks an account after repeated failures and refuses known-breached passwords.

  5. Planned

    Every source archived

    Every source link of a geolocation, secondary links included, gets an archived copy, and you see how many of your links are archived.

  6. Planned

    Search beyond titles

    Search reaches proof text and source URLs, an event can mark several points, and related events and near-duplicate media show next to an event.

  7. Planned

    A map ready for everyone

    The map stays fast for a large audience, keeps its view and filters in the link you share, and says so when no event matches.

  8. Planned

    Backup and recovery

    Every backup passes a restore check, a missed backup raises an alert, and the database can be restored to any point in time.
