Inspiration - A big problem with grave consequences, all the biased and falsified NEWS reporting, that is used for manipulating people who may not be as educated or informed as some of us are privileged to be.
What it does - NEWS reporting, moderated by a democratic governance model.
How we built it - We are developing the Dapp using Solana and Arweave
Challenges we ran into - We are looking at the past, and learning from other decentralized media channels. Their challenges and failures are what we anticipate our system would have to address. We have identified some innovative means to address many of these. For eg. News being treated fungibly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of - The journey has just begun, we are proud of coming together for a project that is not about making a quick buck. We have stepped out of our comfort Zones and speed learnt development on the Solana Network.
What we learned - The Dapp would have to evolve, to support the journalist community and the program infrastructure. A good community of journalists would be invaluable for supplying quality News.
What's next for Sapien News - We are working on the development of our Dapp, we will be prototyping usage with journalists and get feedback, thoughts and opinions.
