About

This app is designed to educate users about dark patterns in user interface (UI) design. Dark patterns are deceptive design practices that manipulate users into making unintended decisions. The app provides a hands-on demonstration of various dark patterns through interactive examples, allowing users to understand how these tactics work and how they can affect their online experiences. To use the app, users can navigate through different tabs that represent various types of dark patterns, such as "Confirm Shaming," "Hidden Costs," "Forced Continuity," "Misdirection," and "Trick Questions." Each tab contains a detailed example of the dark pattern, along with an explanation of how it manipulates user behavior. Users can interact with the examples, such as subscribing to a newsletter or attempting to cancel a subscription, to see the effects of these design choices in real-time. The app is built using modern web technologies, including TypeScript and React, which provide a robust framework for creating interactive user interfaces. It utilizes components from a UI library for buttons, cards, checkboxes, and dialogs, ensuring a consistent and user-friendly design. The app also incorporates state management to handle user interactions and display dynamic content, such as pop-ups and information dialogs. Key features of the app include: - Interactive examples of various dark patterns, allowing users to experience them firsthand. - Informative explanations that clarify how each dark pattern works and its psychological impact on users. - A dialog that provides a comprehensive overview of dark patterns, including their definitions and common types. - Responsive design that ensures usability across different devices and screen sizes. Overall, this app serves as an educational tool for users to recognize and understand dark patterns, promoting awareness and informed decision-making in their online interactions.
