How to Build (8h MVP)

Next.js

8h MVP Checklist

1.Define detection result schema, risk labels, and status copy.
2.Build homepage and core detection page.
3.Implement URL extraction, deduplication, and normalization.
4.Create `/api/check-links` with SSRF protection, timeouts, redirect chains, and parameter detection.
5.Implement summary cards, detailed tables, risk labels, and suggested actions.
6.Add Markdown report copying and CSV download.
7.Include 3 static example inputs and sample reports.
8.Complete About, FAQ, metadata, unofficial disclaimer, and privacy policy.
9.Test with 5 real AI outputs; refine URL extraction and misclassification.
10.Add long-tail content pages and localStorage history within 24 hours.

Don't Build

✕Don't arbitrarily expand features.
✕Don't add complex backend (unless core functionality requires it).
✕Don't implement login, payments, memberships, or admin panels prematurely (unless core functionality requires it).
✕Don't sacrifice launch speed for "completeness".
✕**Don't cut core features for "lightweight" goals**.
✕Don't make it just a static SEO page with explanatory articles.
✕Don't promise detection of all malicious sites or phishing.
✕Don't scrape full page content for comprehensive fact-checking.

Risks

△SSRF security risks: Must block localhost, internal IPs, metadata IPs, reserved addresses, and non-HTTP/HTTPS protocols.
△Misjudgment risks: Target sites may block bots or reject HEAD requests; must distinguish between `timeout/blocked/unknown` and `dead`.
△Legal and trust risks: Clearly state this is an unofficial tool not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
△Security scanning boundaries: Don't promise malware/phishing detection unless integrated with professional security APIs later.
△Competition generalization risk: Many generic URL checkers exist; must position around `AI-generated links` and `ChatGPT link validation`.
△Abuse risk: Need to limit link quantity per request, timeouts, and concurrency to avoid being used as a batch scanner.
