Congrats on the launch! Online trust is truly essential in days like these. Keep up the good work! Could you tell a bit more deeply how Sourcer works?

@arttu_helke Thanks for your comment! We are still at the beginning and wanted to launch to show the core technology we got down. You may experience it being a bit slow, and we will have major improvements here too in the coming week! About your question, we made sure that the algorithms we used are verifiable, which we will go more into detail about soon as well. Our extension starts working when you enter a page that has one of the websites compatible with the tool right now (https://getsourcer.com/compatible). We analyze the article for you on our backend, perform scraping to get the information, run the algorithms necessary to gain the insight and find related articles. Most of the tool right now is quite functional, but we will start introducing more sophisticated algorithms soon that will tell you the sentiment of the article, how articles are in relation to each other and more. Hopefully you can provide us some feedback on the overall experience in the coming week, thanks!

This is really neat. Any plans to add websites like WebMD or other science/medicine/health sites? Would be great to be able to quickly find the studies being cited in those types of articles!

@abby_norman1 Yes! We are starting with news articles and studies, papers and peer reviewed journals are in our timeline, but we cannot give an ETA for that yet as we are working on some more features first.
