Overlap

How do you stop feeling like it's doomsday every time you get a news notification? Hi everyone, we're Overlap :) We asked ourselves this question over a year ago when political media became so overwhelming that we just stopped reading. Our main concern was that we weren't seeing relevant info, understanding what's being passed or knowing how to get involved. When election time came around, it was difficult to get a good understanding of if a politician did a good job in office and should be re-elected. We quickly discovered that the reason news felt overwhelming was because we weren't given any options on what to do with the info presented... we just kind of had to sit with it. But Overlap is our way of resolving that and cutting out the media spin. Our goal is that a user can spend 5-10 mins/week on the app and feel 10x more empowered than reading the news every day. This is for everyone who cares & even those too tired to care. Let's reimagine how we get political information!
