BlockList | Devpost

Inspiration

We wanted to turn the Internet from the Wild Wild West back to the World Wide Web.

When a webpage contains a word on your blacklist, it will show the user a popup warning them about the contents of the site.

We made our program into a Chrome extension to be compatible on any platform. We used Chrome Storage Sync to store the block list client-side.

Most of our team members were novices and very little experience with web development. It was also difficult to accomplish some JavaScript tasks.

We made a simplistic website for the first time and a chrome extension for the first time.

Bill and Joey learned basic front-end, Feng and Samyar learned how to make a minimal chrome extension.

We want to implement warnings for the visually impaired using the internet to make it safer for everyone.

Joey Chik
I motivated my group because I couldn't do anything else because I didn't know how to program in any of the languages used so I spent most of my time learning how to work with git and javascript

Feng Guo
I love computer programming
I worked on making the actual extension and helped with the website

Samyar Vahid
Although I did not have very much coding skills, I made use of the majority of the Hackathon time to learn about new technologies, but contributed the knowledge I had. I helped with designing the website as well as figuring out the logistics of our extension.
