I built my first open-source project: Chickadee Studio — a desktop tool for detecting hidden and disguised advertising on websites

说明与用途

Chickadee Studio 是一款桌面应用程序，可扫描网页，提取图像文本，分析 DOM/CSS，检测文本混淆，并使用本地机器学习模型识别隐藏广告，提供截图供人工审核。

问题

Advertising can be hidden or disguised using look‑alike characters, Unicode tricks, images, or hidden HTML, making simple keyword matching ineffective.

结果

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.

工作流

• Scan target webpage or content
• Extract text from images using PaddleOCR
• Analyze DOM elements and CSS for hidden content
• Detect text obfuscation techniques
• Apply local ML models to classify advertising context
• Generate screenshots and evidence for manual review
• Optionally use AI‑assisted analysis
