The news world is honestly frustrating to me. It's becoming increasingly difficult to a) sift through the noise and b) know the credible sides of the story. Sidewire looks promising to me because it is trying to solve both of these problems by curating the commentary and pulling out only the most important pieces of information about each news story. The design is really straightforward - I was reading content within one tap after downloading the app. No other news app does that.
I'm also not totally on board with the current state of political commentary. There is *so* much clickbait and fluff out there, it's impossible to keep up with what actually matters in politics (especially heading into 2016). So far Sidewire is doing magical things by cutting out the shit and just letting me grab the most important headlines and curated commentary. I think millennials will relate to this style of news delivery.
Congrats on the launch, Sidewire!
