Ever read a tweet and felt out of the loop? Or perhaps you've wondered if what you're reading is inaccurate?
On a phone, it's annoying to switch context and look for sources.
Just tag @whosaidthis_bot and we will reply to you with a source

Hey Product Hunters! My friends have been hard at work during the last few weeks working on 'Who Said This?' as a part of the Mozilla Builders Incubator

Hey PH!, I am Rahul the lead developer on Who Said This? Some background: we are students from India, currently at North American universities who love building things and working with new tech. Last month we joined Mozilla's Spring Open Lab, where we pitched this idea and developed it over the last five weeks. We began by thinking about problems of misinformation, especially on Twitter. We wondered how making certain types of interaction easier would affect dialogue. People's behavior often defaults to what's the easiest to do. It's easy to stumble upon terrible takes, but hard to source claims. Most users are on phones, where this is worse. It's harder to switch to search, and harder to type. We solve this by making the process of sourcing claims easy. We would love any feedback on the bot and how we could improve it!

Hey guys, I love the idea. I have been trying it on twitter. I have only tried it a couple of times but I don't seem to see any results yet. I am tagging @whosaidthis_bot. What can I do to make the results better?
