  We created a software enabling journalists to define a set of criteria they
would like to see applied regularly to a constantly-updated dataset, sending
them an alert when these criteria are met, thus signaling them that there may
be a story to write. The main challenges were to keep the product scalable and
powerful, while making sure that it could be used by journalists who would not
possess all the technical knowledge to exploit it fully. In order to do so, we
had to choose Javascript as our main language, as well as designing the code in
such a way that it would allow re-usability and further improvements. This
project is a proof of concept being tested in a real-life environment, and will
be developed towards more and more accessibility.
