Flask, Tailwind
Dark Pattern Detector is a Chrome extension that watches for manipulative design at checkout — hidden costs, forced continuity, sneak-into-basket — and calls it out before it costs you anything.
Behind it, ML pipelines classify fake and AI-generated reviews and summarize product details, so shoppers can make a call with far less effort. It's built with a Flask backend and a Vite/CRXJS extension front end.
Highlights
- Chrome extension that detects UI dark patterns and exposes hidden costs to bring transparency to checkout.
- ML pipelines that classify fake and AI-generated reviews with 35% higher accuracy.
