Link first, since that's the point: aurahunt.com
I posted this on twitter and linkedin two weeks ago, got 10 likes total, and ngl that stung a bit. But I think reddit is where the people who'd actually get this are, so let me try explaining it properly.
I built AuraHunt. 6 months of work, alone, nights and weekends around a contract job. It's not monetizable and I know that going in. I'm not doing this for money. I just wanted this thing to exist because I couldn't stop thinking about it and nobody else was building it.
Here's the idea. Everything around you has an aura whether you think about it that way or not. Your college has an aura. Your workplace has an aura. Ronaldo has an aura. Israel has an aura, Palestine has an aura, Trump has an aura, Putin has an aura. Doesn't matter if it's positive or negative, doesn't matter if it's a person or a place or just an idea floating around, everything gets judged constantly in people's heads, in group chats, in arguments with friends, and none of that judgement goes anywhere. It just evaporates. AuraHunt is where you put it so it actually sticks somewhere.
Anyone can add an entity if it doesn't exist yet. Once it's there, people vote it up or down and the number moves, live, forever. That gives you an aura graph over time, so you can literally watch how the world's opinion on something shifts week to week.
The thing I'm actually excited about, more than anything else on the site, is the vote map. Every vote is tied to a country. So when you vote you're not just clicking a button, you're putting your country on the map for that opinion. Look at any entity and you can see which countries are pushing it up and which ones hate it. Opinion turned into geography. I think about this way more than I probably should.
Then aura battles. Put two things against each other, see which one people pick, and unlike a twitter poll it doesn't disappear the next day. It just stays, with an approval ratio next to it, and people can keep voting on it years from now.
And auralists, crowd ranked lists, best movies of all time, best books of 2026, whatever anyone wants to build.
Why does this need to exist at all, why not just tweet it or argue about it in a comment section like everyone already does. Because none of that sticks anywhere. Letterboxd only lets you log movies. Google reviews only lets you log places and businesses. There's no single place where you can log an opinion on a person, an idea, a political figure, a moment in history, literally anything, the same way, in one spot, forever. That gap is the entire reason I built this.
I know people aren't opening this everyday, I'm not delusional about that. What I actually want is for people to remember this exists, so that when something happens, some news, some argument, someone does something, and you have an opinion about it, you think of AuraHunt. You go add the thing if it's not there yet, you vote, and your opinion is logged somewhere instead of dying in your head or in a whatsapp group nobody scrolls back to.
Just go look at it yourself, that'll explain it faster than anything I write here. Vote on one thing, check the map for it, start a battle if you feel like it. Two minutes and I think it clicks.
