Concord separates agreed facts from uncertainty in the news
Concord is an early-stage built over several months by a computer science student. It aims to reduce the need to read five or ten articles to understand one event. It tries to separate facts supported by several news from details that remain uncertain, while also showing what changed after the first reports.
Its features include reports, questions and answers about each story, a timeline of major updates, coverage from multiple outlets, and a video feed called Pulse. It also shows the sources behind its conclusions and how confident those conclusions are, and it is currently seeking honest feedback on confusing parts, useful improvements, and reasons people might return.
