What is Rage Filter?
My coworkers don't like talking to me.
I hate talking to them even more.
Instead of working on my interpersonal skills which would have been a healthy approach, I'm just going to have AI rephrase my messages so my special-snowflake coworkers won't get their fragile feelings hurt.
I made Rage Filter as a joke project, and as a part of my "12 Projects in 12 Months" challenge.
It's free and I'm not made out of money, so I'm limiting it to 100 users only for now to observe costs.

This is bloody brilliant. If you could integrate it with Teams and Slack I think it would be a hit.
It's integrated via Chrome Extension on web app.
There's not a good way to support Teams/Slack in a good way for users because none of their APIs seem to replace the text on the message box like how the Chrome Extension can do it. Direct integration means the user types their message, copy/pastes it to another channel to their bot (which would mean their mean message is no longer anonymous), and then copy/paste the filtered message back to their coworkers. This approach is bad because it takes away from a lot of the convenience the Chrome Extension would provide, and copy/pasting in different channels is very error-prone, meaning I don't want users to accidentally paste their unfiltered message to their coworkers.
The other way to support this is to build out a desktop app on (Mac + linux + windows) * (all apps to support), but that's a maintenance nightmare and way too much work for me for a project I'm charging $0 for.
