I built my first open-source project: Chickadee Studio — a desktop tool for detecting hidden and disguised advertising on websites
Описание и применение
Chickadee Studio — это десктопное приложение, которое сканирует веб‑страницы, извлекает текст из изображений, анализирует DOM и CSS, обнаруживает обфускацию текста и применяет локальные модели машинного обучения для выявления скрытой рекламы, предоставляя скриншоты для ручной проверки.
Задача
Advertising can be hidden or disguised using look‑alike characters, Unicode tricks, images, or hidden HTML, making simple keyword matching ineffective.
Результат
The tool provides a local, end‑to‑end pipeline that detects hidden or disguised advertising, offering visual evidence for manual review and supporting AI assistance.
Рабочий процесс
