A public resource (formerly DarkPatterns.org) that catalogs and explains various 'dark patterns' in UX—deceptive interface tricks that deliberately mislead or annoy users. The site provides definitions and real-world examples for dozens of dark patterns (like sneak-into-basket, roach motel, confirmshaming, etc.) and highlights the ethical implications of such designs. It's a useful guide for UX professionals to recognize bad practices and ensure they create more honest, user-friendly experiences instead.
