Building Viewpoint - fact check any short video from your feed without stopping the scroll.

by•
Hi PH 👋 I noticed that there’s basically no good way to fact-check short-form videos accurately while you’re scrolling. In the time it takes to even think about verifying something, you’ve already moved on. You don’t learn — you just consume. So for the last 6 months I’ve been building Viewpoint, an iOS Share Extension that fixes this. Here’s how it works: Tap Share on any short video → pick Viewpoint → keep scrolling like normal. About 30–60 seconds later you get a notification with a claim-by-claim breakdown, accuracy ratings, and sources. No links to copy, no apps to switch to. The demo on the site shows exactly what this looks like in real time (way better than I can explain in text): https://veiwpoint.tech We’re currently in waitlist phase and launching soon. First 30 people on the iPhone waitlist get early TestFlight access and The first 100 names get permanently shown inside the app under Settings. Would love honest thoughts from this community: • How often do you come across claims in short videos that make you think “that can’t be right” but you never actually check? • How many of you use short form media as one of your primary news sources. • After watching the demo on the site, would you get this app, and why,or why not? Appreciate any feedback — it genuinely helps shape what ships. Join the waitlist here if you’re keen: https://veiwpoint.tech Thanks!
