Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and quiz games are straightforward, but continuous scraping, clustering, and anomaly detection across hundreds of news outlets in real-time requires substantial data engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack needs high-throughput web scraping workers (Playwright/Scrapy), real-time RSS streaming, vector embeddings for deduplication, and an NLP pipeline to identify coverage bias and gaps across thousands of daily articles. The primary engineering bottleneck is handling paywalls, rate limits, anti-scraping defenses at scale, and low-latency semantic clustering.
