Base Project

This application belongs to the QuellenReiter:in project created and implemented by Simon Sasse and Jannik Werner. The project consists of a "Fake News" database whcih is openly accesible through this frontend. In addition, a "Fake News" Quiz App derives its quests from the database.

Aim 🏹

Our aim is to tackle the issue of misinformation (in germany) with a playful approach and open-data.

Functionality 🦾
