Hey Product Hunt! 👋 It's been a while since I last launched something here and I can't lie, I'm nervous as hell! Today, however, I am not launching a business venture, but a free product I have poured my soul in. It's a bot that scans the web and reports any content that is dangerous for people with photosensitive epilepsy to view 🤖 Story 📕 In 2019 I stumbled upon an article that stated that a famous NYT journalist was attacked and suffered a seizure because someone on Twitter intentionally sent him a dangerous, animated GIF. After seeing that nothing exists to help people with photosensitive epilepsy online, I decided to build something myself. Long story short, after three crazy months of coding I had a chrome extension that worked like an AdBlocker. It scans the HTML and blocked any dangerous piece of content before even seeing it. However, v1 ultimately failed 🤖 - People had to find out about the product - People had to understand what it does - People had to understand what a browser extension was - Because every client would ping the API multiple times per second, the servers would constantly crash and I had to add a $5/mo price tag - People had to install it on their browser - It couldn't work on mobile apps All of the above created too much friction for it to work. I am not funded or affiliated with any organization, non profit or corporation. It's just me by myself! So, let me introduce v2 now! 🤖 - Scans the web by itself - Scans the few most popular websites (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, etc) that amount to almost 90% of the internet's web traffic - Instantly reports dangerous content No need for anyone to know about it. No need for installation. It just works for millions of people. And it's free. What's next 🔥 1. Open source the code 2. Find contributors to build more accessibility tools, like for people that suffer from blindness, deafness, Parkinson's, etc I will be here all day so if you have any questions, let me know!
