API to add bad words to English texts

In plain words

This developer tool provides an API that adds profanity to English text. Launched in 2014, it allows programmers to integrate functionality for inserting curse words into strings programmatically.

  The problem with existing content moderation: Every developer who's built profanity filtering knows the frustration. Traditional filters either flag "assistant" because it contains "ass," or miss obviously toxic content because they're just matching keywords. They can't tell the difference between "I'll destroy you in this game" (friendly trash talk) and an actual threat.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
