Could you build this?

Partial Building the Chrome extension UI and scraping listings is straightforward, but clustering visual styles, archetypes, and palette overlap across Etsy images requires a custom computer vision pipeline.

What it would actually take: The architecture would consist of a Chrome extension content script that extracts image URLs, sending them to a backend processing pipeline using Python (e.g., FastAPI). The backend runs images through a vision embedding model (such as CLIP or SigLIP) alongside color quantization algorithms (k-means) and clustering algorithms (UMAP/HDBSCAN) to group styles and detect visual overlap. The hard part is tuning visual feature extraction and similarity thresholds to yield meaningful e-commerce aesthetic categories without high latency or excessive compute costs.
