COMPPRESS
Bald verfügbar
What the app offers – your tool
COMPPRESS gives you a tool to promote and challenge journalism.
- Overview and quality: Access the latest news, with items ranked according to journalistic quality with a democratic rating system
- Influence: Rate news items and ensure that focus is diverted away from low quality, while high quality is kept on-screen for everyone
- Setting the course: Lay the foundations for the future direction of media houses and set their course towards higher quality in the media sector through financial rewards (clicks)
What the app needs – your participation as a user
COMPPRESS deliberately does not create any content because it’s all about your opinion!
As a user, there is only one thing the app asks of you:
rate, rate and rate again.
Jede Bewertung ist eine Stimme – Ihre Meinung zählt; verschaffen Sie ihr Gehör!
What technology we use - our open-source philosophy
The philosophy underlying COMPPRESS is also reflected in the technical setup of the app and the IT structure of the association!
The app’s software is open-source and is released under the GPLv3 license. This allows us to achieve the highest levels of transparency, participation and independence.
- Transparency: anyone can view the source code for the app on GitHub. This allows everyone to independently check our rating algorithms and how we handle data
- Participation: anyone can work on developing the app on GitHub, which promotes innovation
- Independence: by involving the crowd, COMPPRESS frees itself as much as possible from ties to individual stakeholders. The result is the highest possible level of independence, including in terms of our IT.
COMPPRESS and open-source go hand in hand - join the movement!
