Echelon Form

How Echelon Form creates stories - synthesizing across sources, focusing on key information

About Echelon Form

Echelon Form is a mobile application that synthesizes information from a variety of news sources into compact articles that fit on a single phone screen. Users swipe through a deck of “card”-like article instances that can be easily read and digested in a few seconds. Cards take one of two formats: a synthesized article view that contains a curated summary / synthesis of multiple articles on the same topic from different news providers (linked with their logos), and a direct comparison view that directly highlights diverging quotes, headlines, and narratives from different news providers on particularly contentious topics.
