pink-match
This app was built to combat pink tax, the phenomenon where products and services marketed toward women cost more than similar ones for men, even when they are functionally identical. Users can paste a ecommerce link to a product marketed to women, and our system scrapes gender-neutral or men’s alternatives that are similar in ingredients, fragrance and description, but typically at a more affordable price. There are some limitations to this project: Currently, the app is only able to handle amazon links as input. Also, it usually takes around a minute for the backend to return a response because of the large amount of data processed.
