Show HN: I built Leads Ward to keep junk leads out of your CRM

https://www.leadsward.com

Hey HN,

I made a lightweight lead-quality layer after helping a close friend whose forms were getting hammered by bots, throwaways, and low‑intent leads. They needed a dead‑simple way to spot high‑intent submissions without duct‑taping 5 tools and spending hours filtering their leads list.

I'd love your feedback.

Happy to answer anything, architecture, security, performance trade‑offs, or product direction. Tear it apart.

Hey I'm Dan,

I saw this idea floating around a while back and thought, I'm going to try building it.

A lot of my friends run small businesses, and I've seen first-hand how hard it is to deal with lead gen when 40–60% of your list is fake submissions and spammy messages.

So I started coding. I vibe-coded the MVP over a weekend, and a week later, the product was done.

How it works: - Drop a 1‑line JS snippet into any site or SPA; it auto-captures form submits - Deterministic checks (disposable domains, bot patterns, dupes, shallow fields) + AI analysis when enabled - Server-side processing with queued AI jobs so your UI stays fast - Privacy-first: no cookies by default, minimal data collection, easy redaction

How’s everyone else fighting this problem?
