From a Tweet to becoming the next Founder in Residence at Forward Research, Founder Justin Shaw of Permafacts is building the world's first provably neutral journal on Arweave.
Permafacts is building the world's first provably neutral journal on Arweave. We discuss Founder Justin Shaw's background in the insurance, his composable-first development process, and his vision for what may become the standard for fact checking and high quality journalism, reporting, and more.
Justin's story is both extraordinary and surprisingly common within the Arweave community - it started with a concept shared openly and has become a fully fledged product currently in ALPHA at the time of the recording. He's gone on to become a Founder In Residence with Forward Research and has sparked a whole new world of assertion-based journalism.
It's always great to hear about new developers to the ecosystem share their experience - via Justin, "what I've noticed about Arweave is it's the least drama and the most how do we work together to build things?". It's great to have another builder that represents the ethos of openness and integrity.
