PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Annotation Tool for Telegram, Parler, Gab, or 4chan Modeled on the Existing Annotation Tool @ https://annotationportal.com/

Manual annotation is the most time-consuming part in building an annotated corpus that can be used as a gold standard for machine learning programs. Annotation tools can accelerate the annotation process and improve accuracy. We built an Annotation Portal for messages on Twitter, see https://annotationportal.com.

Our flow is

We scrape data from Twitter for certain keywords and store them.
We then create randomize samples by using the ID of each tweet.
We upload the samples to the Portal (CSV file with tweet ID).
The Portal pulls the tweets from Twitter and visualizes one tweet and an annotation form next to it (or below it), see images1.
Users can then look at the tweet and click through the annotation form.
(By clicking on the tweet, the user is redirected to the tweet on the Twitter page so that they can see the tweet in its environment.)
The Portal registers the annotation as soon as the user goes to the next tweet. It also registers the time that the user spent on each tweet.
The annotation results can be exported at any time.

The task is to build a similar Annotation Portal for messages on Telegram, Parler, Gab, or 4chan. The Portal can work with live data or stored data. (Live posts can get deleted quickly. Working with stored data is safer from that perspective.)
