Inspiration
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of misinformation being spread over social media has become apparent. Many news articles are being shared without their validity being questioned. This has resulted in extremely unsafe behaviour such as drinking hand sanitizer to rid oneself of the virus or injecting bleach into their bloodstream.
What it does
Consultable is a website that provides a ranking of how trustworthy a website is. It then provides other sources about the same subject so that the user can learn from various reputed sources about the same subject and feel confident in the information they share.
How we built it
The back end database is implemented using Google Firebase and processing is completed using python3 and the goose3 library to scrape articles for important information. The front end is made with Flutter.
