Should I use Projects?

· 2 hours ago

Don't buy: projects.propublica.org is ProPublica's hub of free investigative-journalism projects and public data tools, not purchasable software — evidence was thin, so confidence is low. Nobody should 'buy' this; use the site directly if you want free tools, and skip it entirely if you're shopping for project-management software.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~50 public sources; only one (the product's own security page) actually relates to this URL.

Gotchas - check before you buy
