Hi everyone! I'm working at a nonprofit startup studio called Roote that is trying to launch a Twitter app called Tweetscape! Here's our vision.
The TL;DR is that the internet has a tremendous information problem. For every bit of useful information, there are 1000's of bits of bad information—clickbait, fake news, affiliate content, misinformation, spinned articles, etc.
Tweetscape's mission is to solve this problem, starting with Twitter. We'll analyze measures of account trustworthiness and content quality to display the best Tweets and external links for any given topic. We then plan on expanding to improve the broader information ecosystem on the web.
We're searching for someone to develop the app, as well as own the product direction and vision. We plan on offering $75k/year, equity if we spin Tweetscape out as a for-profit, and a chance to greatly improve humanity's epistemic commons. Here's a link to the job description.
If you're interested or know anyone that might be interested, please send this opportunity their way! Thanks for your help :)
