Description
The 5-star system is broken. Honestly is a Chrome extension that finds and verifies real product opinions from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube & Instagram directly on product pages. No ads, sponsorships, nor AI. Just reviews you can trust.

Could you build this?
Partial Building the Chrome extension UI is easy, but continuously ingesting, transcribing, and accurately attributing opinions from TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and Instagram across millions of products without being blocked requires heavy scraping and data pipelines.
What it would actually take: The system requires a massive multi-platform data harvesting pipeline (handling Reddit API quotas, TikTok/Instagram anti-scraping protections, and YouTube video audio transcription via Whisper at scale). It also needs a fine-tuned entity resolution and sentiment extraction NLP pipeline that maps informal colloquial speech to specific product SKUs and features. This demands dedicated data engineering, ML modeling for entity resolution, and proxy fleet operations.
