An Easier Way to Showcase “the Receipts”

1) “The Receipts”

When I told my Mom I was trying to contact Ken Klippenstein. She remarked “That sounds like a Russian-Mennonite name!”

I told her he’s a nepo baby, but I don’t care because he brings the receipts.

Building Reader Trust:

I’m working on an App to help writers to build trust with readers who are skeptical of their journalism, but persuadable.  The App showcases  the context of their sources in a visible way, differentiating their work from “mainstream” media. The App doesn’t require the reader to  leave the existing article and visit a new page to read the documentation or video. The App reads YouTube video transcripts and enables writers to include an unlimited number of citations per article, whereas there is limited space to embed videos or document within an article.

2) Familiar Quotes: Jack Nicholson:

Besides bringing the receipts, writers can also use the tool expressively: Imagine citing a Jack Nicholson quote that (many) people are  already familiar with: You can’t handle the truth!

Digital Expression: Beyond Emoticons & Animated GIFs

Electronic writing has added emoticons, animated GIFs, audio and video to the new writing medium.

I’m seeking to get feedback from readers and from writers. I’m especially interested in hearing from Ken because his practice of journalism already brings “the receipts” and has someone edit his work. 1

The Design Features of CiteIt: do not require:

1. Readers having to go to a new page, which introduces page-flipping friction and requires the reader to locate the quote start within the document and
2. Writers having to limit the number “receipts” they post within an article to conserve space, as there is limited space within an article to display videos and document
3. Putting “the receipts” at the bottom of the page where they are only visible after an article has been read.
4. Copying the Quote context.  CiteIt looks up the context, given a link URL.
5. Computer Programming to script the popup windows.
