Description
I wanted a way for people to support companies and people that align with their political beliefs. Additionally, I think it can serve as a valuable, source-linked public ledger of who said and did what over time, especially as incentives change and people try to rewrite their positions.This is fully AI-coded, researched, and sourced.Additionally, AI helped develop the scoring system. The evidence gathering is done by a number of different agents through OpenRouter that gather and classify source-backed claims. The point of that is not to pretend bias disappears, but to avoid me manually selecting the evidence myself. I intend for it to remain current and grow. The system is close to fully automated, though ongoing evidence collection at scale is still limited mostly by cost.The name is an homage to the early days of Web 1.0 and Hot or Not, which was a main competitor of mine as the creator of FaceTheJury.com, but I think it works well here.The backend and frontend are running on Cloudflare Workers with D1. It's coded in vanilla JavaScript.
