This past week I updated my database and modified the SQL query to improve the nonprofit results (835107f9c561e7e5fd8ab4ffa3a832558798c012). Since I am grabbing all of the locations mentioned in an article, there are still instances where a US organization, like ‘Planned Parenthood,’ might be a result for an article that talks mainly about Africa because the US was mentioned once. But overall it looks like the results that are coming back from the database query are more accurate than before. Unfortunately, this also produces the side effect of not as many articles having nonprofits returned because while I tried to make my list diverse in their issue area, I simply do not have the number of organizations needed in my database to cover all possible areas.
I also fixed minor bugs like the donation buttons still showing up on the UI when a new RSS feed is processed, changing the links in the database to the general webpage links (as opposed to the donation page links like they were before), and switching the text on the buttons from “Donate” to “Take Action" (0527e14acc8f3c1f2a302be21356b77dc7ee7019).
Additionally, I spent some time improving my presentation with the feedback I got from the 90% presentation and from Professor Heller.
This coming week I am going to continue trying to come up with a name for my application and work on my webpage.
