Over the past year I kept running into the same problem: it’s getting harder to tell who’s real online.Fake freelancers, fake founders, impersonation accounts, recycled profile photos — everything looks legit on the surface. Reverse image search helps a bit, but it’s fragmented and slow if you want a quick signal.So I started building NexID — a simple identity search tool that tries to answer one question:“Does this person actually exist across the web?”You can drop in a photo, username, or basic info and it scans public signals across platforms to see if there’s a consistent digital footprint. The goal isn’t surveillance or background checks — just helping people avoid obvious catfish/scam
