By designing surveys and algorithms to understand both users and media, our project assisted a start-up social media platform, Folkspaper, in developing systems to improve the distribution of their users’ creative content within the app. This analysis of the application allowed building the foundation of a recommendation system. From this, Folkspaper can continue to grow their user base and improve their user experience.
