Inspiration

The inspiration was for this project was that the members in our group liked going on Facebook marketplace to find good deals but we didn't like dealing with all of the garbage and scam posts that litter the website.

What it does

The chrome add on scans the Facebook marketplace listing for terms that we have deemed to be affiliated with scams or low effort listings.

How we built it

We built it with html and CSS for the visual add on part of the add on and then JavaScript for the functional part of the project.

Challenges we ran into

One of the challenges that we ran into was that some content would load in when the page was loaded, and some content was loaded when the user scrolled down to see more. We had to figure out a way to scan all the listings the user was going to see.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we were able to get a working prototype done in 24 hours, in the middle of the hackathon we didn't think that we were going to be able to get done.
