This is Reliant – a browser extension that enhances your article reading experience.

In 2021, an average of 5,200 articles are produced by major news outlets every day. It feels like there’s so much information out there that makes it harder for one person to decide what’s true and what’s not. In a world full of misinformation, this project aims to spark discussion amongst readers, allowing them to make the best decision regarding the reliability of their article. In short, we hope to simplify the process of gathering information about the article's credibility.

We do this by:

• Author Reliability Score
• Author Background Information
• Comments
• Notes
• Highlights

• React
• Bootstrap
• Webpack

This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

You'll need npm to run this project.

npm install npm@latest -g

First, install the packages for the client.

npm install

Optional: If you're planning on running a development server (Must have mongoDB access)

npm install

Optional: If you're planning on running a development server create a .env on the root level and add your MongoDB connection string
