This is Aki, a technical founder having previously shipped products to 1B+ people (I launched the heart button on twitter).
I built Credible because I wanted a way to know whether something I'm about to read would be worth my time. I also got tired of context-switching to verify what I read.
Credible is a Chrome extension that displays instant credibility scores directly into the pages you browse, including HN itself.
** How it works ** On HN Home: You see a credibility score next to each link.
On HN Comments page: You see the full analysis of the linked article.
This includes the linked article's key takeaways, credibility score, bias detection, and a breakdown of claims (facts vs opinions vs dubious) without leaving the page.
They also show on our mobile-friendly feed here: https://mycredible.ai/feeds/hacker-news
Chrome Web Store: https://mycredible.ai/chrome
We will have a major focus next year on shipping tools that utilize AI to make consumption a breeze. As we design that, would love to know: Is this scoring & UX useful for you? What would make it even better?

The idea is that by relying on their eventual track record rather than just an individual claim, we can surface and reward novel ideas that have merit too.
