Simpoli is an app to simply current events and host political debates amongst the youth. Simpoli started as a project under Empowering Youth Action, which is an advocacy org I'm a part of, but we eventually spun it out as its own project. I lead a team of around 20 students, mostly writers and social media marketers in building this platform.
The idea came about after the events of January 6th, which showed us that the US is generally moving towards tribalism too much and just generally dislikes discourse. We wanted to limit misinformation while also incentivizing and making discussions more fun, so we gamified both.
Simpoli was super fun because we used internal tools with firebase to build it. I also absolutely love the UI, which a super talented guy at my school and I designed.
