Inspiration

Internet Users’ susceptibility to fake news has grown remarkably as the propagation of social media has increased. The aim of our app is to empower the users giving them a effortless and a honest interaction of the web.

What it does

We’re aiming to design a system that will be able to analyze all news that are linked in social media for credibility and will report back the data collected on the source and piece of news to our users. The following are examples of the data our system will inform on the sources: credibility score, as well as the explanation and proof, the category the information falls in(celebrity news, political news, etc.) and a list of sources and the data we collected on them.

How we built it

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Xd (for Prototyping)
Android Studio with Java and XML

Challenges we ran into

Computer crashed a couple times when prototyping

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finishing the full high-fidelity prototype

What we learned

Patience

What's next for SmartRead

Start on the implementation of the algorithm for the credibility.
