Howdju’s Docs
Howdju is a prototype platform for crowdsourced factchecking. Howdju’s goal is to decrease misunderstandings by making it convenient to access and share factual information relating to debated topics.
Our introduction explains why Howdju exists. Our design page explains what Howdju does and compares Howdju to related tools. Our concepts page explains how Howdju works.
Howdju was started by Carl Gieringer (opens in a new tab).
Sophistree
The Sophistree Chrome extension is a related project for argument mapping.
Sophistree is currently not integrated with Howdju, but my intention is to integrate Sophistree’s highlighting and mapping functionality with Howdju. Sophistree uses Howdju’s concepts and data model (opens in a new tab).
Prototype?
Prototype means:
- Functionality may be incomplete or unreliable
- Functionality may change with new ideas for how the platform should work.
