Sukey
Keeping protesters mobile and informed during protests. Languages: php, html, js, css.
Project Details / Background
Sukey is a platform designed to keep people safe, mobile, and informed during demonstrations. We crowdsource and verify information from Twitter and other online and offline sources to provide protestors with a timely overview of what’s happening on the ground. People at a demonstration can tag tweets with #sukey, or visit Sukey.io to anonymously send photo and text reports. Verified information is then digested, structured, and fed back to demonstrators. Those without a smartphone can use Twitter via SMS to receive regular updates from @sukeySMS.
