I launched a content moderation API on Product Hunt today

Got tired of AWS moderation costing $150/mo and being slow, so I built my own.

Made it faster (<20ms) and cheaper ($9/mo). That would've been enough.

But I added something no other API has: a dial.

Most moderation APIs give you one filter level. Everyone gets the same rules.

This is completely customizable & can be deployed with different settings for different applications!

Mine has a dial (1-5). Your users choose:

  • 1 = blocks everything
  • 3 = allows cursing, blocks hate speech
  • 5 = only catches slurs

Because a kids Minecraft server and an adult gaming community shouldn't use the same filter.

Launched on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/products/contentguard-content-moderation?launch=contentguard-content-moderation

Demo: contentmod.netlify.app

Free tier to test it out.
