The group meeting reaffirmed my own ideas on how to further advance my idea. I had originally thought of using a wireframe in order to plan out my application, and when other peers mentioned it, so it seems like my idea is in-line with what other people thought. It also appeared that everyone I talked with was also opting for a looks-like model as well.
My prototype is meant to provide access to anyone who has access to smartphones, something that most americans have access to, since the project is an mobile application. The identity of users would be students, teachers, and people who want to have their news tailored to them. Currently users may only have access to newspapers sources that others have shown to them, and this app will suggest different newspapers that may coincide with the users own interest.
