accuFact is a tool built to shed light on real news. Drawing from multiple news outlets, our platform algorithmically features articles that demonstrate credibility. Our approach is bilateral, factoring in both the prior credibility of a given source (based on both preeminence and peer-review) and the popularity of each particular article.
accuFact retrieves live stories using News API. Using this integration, articles from 72 worldwide sources can be obtained in a JSON format including their title, a brief description, a corresponding image, and more.
accuFact is built using HTML, CSS, and JS. We've implemented the React framework for extensibility and scaling options. Our project is hosted on GitHub, deployed on Heroku, and uses a Namecheap-registered domain name.
