Inspiration
One of the topics is hate speech and we think that hate speech is far too common on the internet. This project was made to limit the amount of hate speech people can see on the internet.
What it does
Replaces hate speech/words on every website with red asterisks that can be clicked to view the word.
How we built it
We built a chrome extension using TypeScript, Vite, and Preact
Challenges we ran into
Finding a list of words to use was challenging and filtering is an entire page is very difficult (and sort of slow). Also we spent most of the first day finding group members rather than coding so we didn't have too much time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It works on many tested pages and works flawlessly on major websites.
What we learned
We learned how to use Vite/Webpack and how to make a chrome extension.
What's next for Live Hate Speech Filter
Faster filtering and a backend that uses AI to better-detect hate speech.
