Compare the News
Coralsoft designed, built and shipped this product for the client.
Ground News is a news-comparison platform from Snapwise Inc. that shows how any story is covered across left, center and right — surfacing the spread of coverage, the factuality of sources and who owns them, so readers can spot bias and gaps for themselves.

Ground News is a news-comparison platform from Snapwise Inc. The main delivery challenge was to give users dense content and media tools that still feel immediate on everyday devices, while keeping Aggregate, Rate, and Compare consistent across the complete journey. We framed the engagement around the smallest production-worthy flow first, then expanded the scope without weakening the underlying component and data model.
We began by mapping the user journey and the boundaries of the AI: what context it receives, what it may return, and where deterministic application logic must stay in control. We then built Aggregate, Rate, and Compare as small end-to-end slices, connecting the interface to the data and model layers early so the team could test real responses instead of static mock-ups. Prompt, validation, and fallback behaviour were refined alongside the product UI. The main implementation used React Native, Expo SDK 54, Expo Router, and TypeScript, with typed contracts keeping the JavaScript stack consistent across the product.
The delivered scope brought Aggregate, Rate, Compare, and Blindspot into one coherent cross-platform mobile release. Model output, product logic, and user feedback are separated clearly, which makes the AI easier to evaluate and evolve. For Ground News, the practical result is a product that communicates its value quickly while giving the team a maintainable base for continued delivery in media & content.
Transparency beats trust-me — show the bias, and let the reader decide.
By making bias and blind spots visible, Ground News turned passive scrolling into active, balanced reading — and earned the trust of people tired of the bubble.
