Made the decision to move my #OSINT resource document away from Google Sheets and over to osintportal.com. No logging of search queries but it will autopopulate URLs for you where it makes sense to do so. I'm hoping that with a functional resource suggestion feature it can continue to grow
OSINT Portal - Open Source Intelligence Research Tool
