Collective News Network

Inspiration

What it does

Allows a de-centralised approach to news reporting so that people are treated equally. Uses Wisdom of the Crowd and a Reputation Model for reporters and editors to allow the community to decide who serves them best.

How we built it

TDD (or Blood, sweat, tears) and a WHOLE lot of caffeine

Challenges we ran into

mocha/chai testing with asynchronous chained api calls :-/

What we learned

Learning a TDD framework may not be for hackathons but bean bags definitely are!

What's next for Collective News Network
