All right, let's sum up. This year we explored the failure of democracy. How our social scientists brought our world to the brink of chaos. We talked about the veterans, how they took control and established the stability that has lasted for generations since. You know these facts, but have I taught you anything of value this year?
Yeah, you might be right. I was gone by then so not 100%. Sam Williams was behind that app. I’m not a fan of chat apps but that was done really well and I was surprised by it.
I really loved the Quartz chat app. I loved how carefully curated it was, how it didn't waste my time, how it gave me an outlay of just the things I care about. It felt a little like a friend was texting me about the news rather than just a dump of news itself.
And I was a little sad when my friend stopped texting me.
Ditto on loving Quartz and the chat app around 2015 I think it was. After Quartz was gone, I didn't really find what I was looking for until I discovered Axios.
