TermsScanner - Protect your rights

DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Submission ๐ŸŽฅ

This is a submission for the DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Presented by Mux

What I Built

I built a platform that scans terms and conditions, filters out standard text, and alerts you to hidden fees. Ensuring you're protected from illegal or outrageous terms and conditions.

The Story Behind It

About two years ago, I applied for a 1.5-year study program in Sweden and paid nearly โ‚ฌ20,000 for it. Unfortunately, the marketing didn't match the actual course quality. Hidden in their terms and conditions was a single sentence: "We can change the course content to a reasonable amount."

Technical Highlights

The extension is built in JavaScript and sends API calls to my Next.js server. We store the data in Supabase and send the prompt plus the URL to our AI, which scans the terms using over 1,000 checks. With every use, it learns and improves.
