#12You can replace "Upvote" with two buttons: "Like" and "Confirm". Because people will tend to upvote things even if they are not sure wherther the fact is true or not, simply because they like that fact. There are way too many low quality (twitter?) messages. Personally, I would not spend any of my time refuting and upvoting them. People have only 24 hour in a day, you need to provide better links, so people not only…
That's basically what it is now - there's "upvote" and there's "confirm" (to the right in the grey)
There's not really any good way to say "show me only good Twitter stuff related to this content." The top of the page should show you the best stuff, and the live streams will be for more hardcore users, kind of like the people who scan through the "new" page on HN. But we are definitely trying to find way to make that better if you have any suggestions.

#13I like it. Feature request. Allow me to add a reference when I "Confirm" it
If you click "confirm" you should see "URL" and "description" - you should be adding a reference. Maybe the wording is ambiguous; we should change "URL" to "reference?"

Yeah, you are right, somehow I missed that.

Obviously we didn't make it clear enough - didn't refer to it in the onboarding. Thanks for the feedback.
Also, part of our thesis as to how that works is that information can be "important" even if it's false - it's important to mark it out as false, since it's going to be spreading regardless. So in theory the two actions should be separate, and the incorrect information should be marked as such. Could be wrong on that - we'll see.

#16going through the tutorial, once I clicked on the world cup it is a blank page. Load related I expect. Very interesting concept though. You just need that critical mass of fact checkers.
For some reason our load balancer thinks 2 of the instances aren't healthy (though they are) - checking on that, seems to be working now.
EDIT: fixed, thanks.
I figure you're doing some live updating to the code right now, but just a heads up, I get two errors and a blank page atm:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.grasswire.net/v1/newsfeeds. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://grasswire.com' is therefore not allowed access. (index):1

#17Like the idea, a lot, but I'm missing text. Maybe a small header text telling the core news of the item (and with more text than a typical tweet). And also articles instead of just videos? Or maybe the whole point is not having it?
Personal preference of course, but for instance after clicking Russia-Ukraine conflict it doesn't tell me in a quick glance what the story is, at the left there is a bunch of meaningless pictures from people I don't (or hardly) know, at the right some tweets in what seems at least 3 different font sizes, with the green imo making it harder to read,and then followed by a whole lot of videad with no title. Overall, an overload of colours and images. For me at least.

#19I'm having trouble viewing the page.
I've successfully signed up and in, but the newsfeed hangs (blank page): http://api.grasswire.net/v1/newsfeeds
All javascript etc. is also loaded succesfully.
Any ideas?

Do you have Adblock installed? That caused an error for me.
