There's an app called "Of Course I Still Love You" (OCISLY), and it's named after one of Elon Musk's space drone ships. The app helps you navigate the world of online dating by displaying two potential matches and asks you, essentially, which one you'd rather have. It removes the need to swipe through every other potential match one-by-one and allows you to skip past those that don't even make the initial cut. If you want more information about the two potential matches, you can click their profiles for more information. <br><br>In 2016, when I was 18 and able to vote for the first time, I was extremely disappointed in the quality (or lack thereof) of the candidates surrounding our national election. There was an overwhelming feeling of dread and resentment, and I felt that the world was left voting for the lesser of evils. <br><br>The user's profile for the app includes only the following:<br>1. First name<br>2. Last name<br>3. Age<br>4. Zip Code<br>5. Occupation<br>6. Education<br>7. Top Three Issues They're Most Concerned With (e.g. Climate Change, Healthcare, Immigratoin, etc.)<br>8. Party Affiliation (if desired)<br><br>The app will use the issues you select in your profile to determine which political candidates align with your views. It will display you two candidates at a time, and ask you, essentially, which one you'd rather have. You will also be able to view the candidate's profiles if you want to know more information about them. <br><br>I think this is a good way to make a game out of voting. If you want to view the ranked list of candidates, you can, after having voted through 20 or so candidates. The app will also provide user feedback and statistics about which issues are most important to your area (based on zip code), and you can see how your area's surrounding areas vary.
