As the internet and social media continues to grow, so does the need for news and media to establish a larger online presence. While this can be a good thing, many news outlets abuse this. Clickbait is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to draw in audiences to news websites and even worse than this, many news articles contain false information due to lack of evidence or to align with a corporate agenda.
It is estimated that more than 21 million clickbait articles are being produced globally every single month.
Nact is a new smartphone app that allows users to read, edit and moderate news articles.
News articles will be automatically added to the app frequently so the users have something to read, but users also have access to post their own articles. Users can not only read but edit these articles to filter out what is true and what is false. Opinions are removed and only the facts remain. To stop the spammers and misuse, users will also have a reliability ranking. Reliability is key, as it allows more editing and approval over other edits.
Read the factual news. Edit misleading articles. Improve news standards.
While other applications like Reddit let you read up-to-date news, the articles are still flooded with opinions. Nact removes opinion entirely and leaves you with the raw facts and nothing more. It allows you to make up your own mind without the influence of the media.
The best part is that it is moderated by the community, for the community.
Nact has gone through many iterations and user testing to allow users to have the best experience possible. If there are two things we belive in, it's a comfortable user experience and factual news.
The application allows you, the user, to read factual news and help moderate the news to become cleaner, contain only the facts and remove biased opinion.
The steps to contributing to the community are simple and quick to do.
- Register & login to an account.
- Find a news article.
- Read the article.
- Modify the article to remove bias or misinformation.
- Save the changes.
- Enjoy the benefits of the rest of the community.
