*Demos* -- [LOOKING FOR FULL STACK WEBDEV, UX ]

[hobuobi]

One of the major challenges facing our modern information ecosystem is the fragmentation of discourse; a growing proportion of people encounter their news in highly-polarized “filter bubbles” that reinforce a particular view of issues and actively deteriorate community-oriented reasoning. To counter this, we propose “DEMOS” a platform for more community-oriented reasoning about news and current events. In short, this platform would aim to a) gather news stories focused around prominent narratives/news cycles, b) expose the full narrative to news consumers, and c) encourage active, public participation to establish consensus on certain facts, community effects, etc.

What you're looking for

• Full Stack Web Development
• UX Design
• In general, people willing to think thoroughly through misinformation problems at a systems level

Team Bios Humphrey started the design team at DEV, a student-run design and development agency at Harvard. He's now a product manager at Google working on smartphone AR tools for developers and a contributor at Credibility Coalition, working to better understand human factors related to misinformation.
