I made a newsbetting app.

Basically the idea was to create an app where you would get an article stripped of its title, author, source info, etc. Then you would place a bet on whether the article was from a right- or left-affiliated news source. The goal was to provide an alternative business model for journalists/news orgs, ease the polarization in this country, and have a non-advertising basis for social media.

It failed because it never got users, it was my first project so there were quite a bit of missing features, and I really don't know jack about running... well, anything.

But it was a good programming experience.
