Show HN: Check the credibility of any news story

Hi folks. Founder here. In the last few weeks you've likely seen some news about COVID-19 and have thought "wait, is this true?"

To answer that question, we built a simple, free utility for everyone: IsThisCredible.com.

Post the URL to any article and our algorithm will generate a credibility score based on four criteria: author expertise, site reputation, diversity of sources, and tone of writing. Articles scoring over 75% are likely to be credible.

You can also search for topics by keywords to find the most credible articles in the last week on masks, COVID-19, elections, or any other news you've heard.

More details on our algorithm here: https://www.thefactual.com/how-it-works.html. Happy to answer questions. Thank you for checking it out.

Glad to have this as a resource, as I'm often asked: "do you think this is real?" I'll be sharing with family and friends to help fight misinformation, especially at a time when being informed is more important than ever.

Hope it helps people be more critical of what they are reading.
