Thyseus

Live object detection & GPS mapping from public cameras.

Open a public traffic-camera feed and Thyseus runs object detection in your browser. It calculates locations for the objects it detects and adds them to a map shared with other viewers.

  • Your browser processes the feed and sends detection labels to the map.
  • Locations are calculated from each camera’s position and field of view.
  • Browse cameras by state or submit new ones to the network.
“Viewers run detection on their own devices and contribute to the same map.”

Preflight

Check your PDF before it flies.

A native macOS utility that checks a PDF against real submission limits — exact byte size, page count, searchable text, encryption — and, when it's too big, builds a verified optimized copy that fits. The original is never modified, and nothing leaves your Mac.

  • Exact-byte checks against an email-attachment or custom limit — plus pages, searchable text, and encryption.
  • Optimize to Fit creates a new, independently verified PDF under the limit; the source is never touched.
  • SHA-256-verified side-by-side comparison and JSON/CSV receipts, all computed on your Mac.
“The worst place to learn the file limit is the upload form.”
