I Made an App!

HeyRep App is Now Live 

An app? What? What's going on here? You're not the only one who's confused, I ask myself that all the time.

With everything going on in the world recently I've found myself reaching out to my elected officials in Congress quite a lot to voice what I would like them to be doing. Which is a foundational part of our democracy. That led to the realization that there really isn't an easy and efficient way of doing this and it does not have to be that way.

Just finding out who represents you in Congress (or any level of office) can be a royal pain in the butt let alone figuring out how to get in touch with them and what to say. It can be an intimidating process which seems like it leads to a lot of people ignoring it and remaining silent.

So I built an app, it's called HeyRep and it gives you one place to easily find out who your reps are on both the national and state level, how to get in touch with them, you can call their office from the app and it'll even help you draft a letter. Just enter in a few words or a sentence or two of what you want the letter to be about and with the help of AI, it drafts a letter for you, which you can then edit and it gets you to the right place to send that letter.

Really I made this app for myself, but if it's helpful for me, which it has been immensely helpful and has saved me a bunch of time, then perhaps others will find it useful as well.

It's free, does not require an account and it does not track or store any data, which is extremely uncommon now-a-days. Most everything you use your data is being tracked, stored, then sold, usually without you even realizing it. With this app, you are in full control of your data. Hooray!

Hopefully you find it useful, if so, then use it and if not then... don't use it.

The app is now available in both the Apple Store and Google Play Store (for US users):

And because both of those stores made me have a website for it, there's a website for it that I threw together, which can be found here:

So reach out to your elected officials and make your voice heard! It may not seem like much but it is a very important part of our democracy and is essential. Hopefully this app makes it a little bit easier for you to do so.

Keep it real out there!
