Goal

The Sift app required an engaging and intuitive UI/UX design tailored for a news-reading experience, implemented on both iOS and Android. Our challenge was to build a cross-platform mobile app that offered seamless navigation while integrating a recommendation engine to deliver personalized news content. Additionally, we needed to develop a backend to support these features and implement a web-scraping tool to gather content from multiple news sources, ensuring users have access to a wide range of articles within the app.
