Show HN: A Company Ethics Search Engine for 5500 Companies

Mashinii launched a company ethics search engine indexing 5,500 companies, according to a Show HN post by the project's author on Hacker News on August 20, 2026.

The tool, accessible at mashinii.com, allows users to search for and review ethics-related information on individual companies. The Show HN post provided no further detail on the data sources behind the index, the methodology used to assess or surface ethics information, or how companies are selected for coverage.

No information about the founding team, company structure, prior funding, or geographic base was included in the source material. The HN submission was posted by user smashini and had received one point and one comment at the time of publication.

The broader space of corporate accountability and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) data has attracted a range of tools and data providers in recent years, though the Show HN post makes no mention of competitors or market positioning. What distinguishes Mashinii's approach — whether it aggregates third-party ratings, news coverage, regulatory filings, or original research — is not detailed in the available sources.

No roadmap, hiring plans, or expansion details were included in the submission. The project appears to be at an early, public-launch stage based on the single-point HN post.
