Been experimenting with building tools to make fact checking more transparent and reusable for a few years now, this is the latest iteration of that project. Feedback appreciated!
Just some feedback that might or might not be useful for your messaging, depending on your goals :)
Long term the goal is to have an open reputation score for every fact checker. I'm currently experimenting with different implementations of this, and seeing good promise.
For example, I believe HN has a vote-ring detector, but I think there's also a decent amount of manual intervention from the mods. Amazon's reputation system is under constant attack through a variety of means (paying teams of people for fake reviews, going to the length of having real transactions on Amazon between fake-reviewer and the seller buying the review).
In my experience, there are few good colours that remain readable on text, and I personally find serif fonts visually displeasing in most cases, although there are some exceptions (https://www.nytimes.com/) and even then, the light grey on white background is pretty displeasing.
I wish you all the best in your endeavour!
In other words, enabling journalists to "show their work".
Thanks for the feedback about the colours, I'll play around with it!
Fact checking need a court like system, with judges. Contact me, if you interested. I have lot of real world experience with that.
1) only primary sources are accepted 2) the claim and primary source must be verified by a community of fact checkers
Definitely happy to chat though, will send you an email!
It's clean and easy to use and I don't necessarily see a huge problem with "noise" diluting the "facts".
I certainly appreciate both the goal and work you've done to accomplish it.
