Show HN: Phended – Cybersecurity Education for Non-Tech Folks
Hey HN,
I’ve been working on Phended, a cybersecurity education site focused on making defensive knowledge approachable—especially for small businesses and non-technical users who don’t have time to dig through jargon-filled resources.
Right now, it’s a mix of free tools, guides, and checklists, with a chatbot assistant named Dave who helps answer questions. I’m gearing up for a full refresh as I build out more content and structure things better, so it’s still early days—but I’d love to get feedback before I go too deep into the overhaul.
Some stuff I’m planning: • More actionable guides and incident playbooks • An LMS for structured learning • A self-serve phishing simulation tool (potentially) • Better UX all around
The current roadmap is public, and I’d love any thoughts, critique, or encouragement. Thanks!
