Summary

Platformative is a web app designed to make it easier for voters to compare candidates in elections by providing a direct, unbiased, and concise platform-focused approach to learning about their candidates. The app was built using Bubble, a no-code tool that allows users to build fully customizable web applications without extensive coding knowledge. Matt D'Avirro, the founder of Platformative, aimed to create an app that would help educate voters, reduce partisanship, and promote unity by presenting candidates in a neutral and policy-focused manner. The app has already gained traction with 13 candidates submitting their platforms and averaging over 100 unique users per day, with plans to expand to more elections in Canada and the US market in the future.
