I built this because I’m worried about how fast misinformation outpaces truth. It’s a Chrome extension for real-time claim verification on YouTube.

The Reality Check: I’m not a professional dev. I’ve done my best to get this to a working prototype, but my best is likely your worst. I’m sharing it here because I’ve hit walls I don’t know how to climb yet.

The Hard Problems:

The API Key Barrier: Requiring an OpenAI/Gemini key is too much friction for normal users. How do we move toward local LLMs (Transformers.js?) or a community proxy?

The Trust Engine: How do we weight sources without building in our own bias?

Performance: Parsing real-time transcripts and grounding them in search results without lagging the browser.

I've set up the repo with an MIT License, CI/CD, and a roadmap of "Good First Issues." If you've ever wanted to use your skills for factual integrity, please take a look at the code and tell me where I'm wrong.
