Gandalf is an SDK for securely requesting user data from online services that lack a first-party API. Your users can share a wide range of data; the shows they've watched, the games they've played, their shopping history, etc.
The team is very excited to release Gandalf to the world. It's been a fantastic ~3 months of work. We hope you enjoy building with the SDK as much as we enjoyed building it.
With today's alpha release, you can securely request user data from Netflix, YouTube, Amazon & Playstation with just a few lines of code. Gandalf allows end-users to share a wide range of data; the shows they've watched, the games they've played, their shopping history, etc.
Our mission is to empower users with full control over their data, while providing developers with a stable, trustworthy platform free from unilateral API changes. Today's release is the first step in that direction.
We'd love to take the next 1000 steps with builders like you all. Get started: https://docs.gandalf.network

This looks cool! Just a heads up, the feedback site gets flagged by the browser/metamask as 'potentially deceptive', I get this big warning shown when I open the url:
Deceptive site ahead
MetaMask flagged the site you're trying to visit as potentially deceptive.
a lot of promise in this project! tried the demo and ended up getting a "unable to publish data" message and not sure where to go after that. also tried to headed to the pay screen and ended up on a blank screen.
You're not going to be able to keep that name, and the misappropriation of it does not inspire confidence in your judgement.

Who hunted Gandalf?
Gandalf was hunted by Timi Ajiboye. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
