Sandbox: Talk Politics & News
by Sandbox Ideas, LLC
Description
Sandbox is for politically curious people who want to find out what they’re missing. It’s the place for productive, structured, one-on-one conversations between people who disagree on some things, and agree on others.
How it Works
Each Sunday, you'll take a short survey on a different political topic. Based on your responses, you'll be paired with someone who shares some of your views but challenges others. Together, you'll engage in structured exchanges throughout the week, explaining your thoughts and reacting to your partner's. This measured approach lets you build understanding without the chaos of social media.
Talk to people you disagree with (without pooping your pants)
Sandbox’s structured approach allows you to slow down and hear what the other person says before you formulate your response
One-On-One Conversations:
-Have private conversations with someone outside your bubble. No audience, no trolls.
-Emphasizing personal experience means your partner is more likely to hear where you’re coming from.
Curated Content:
-You’ll respond to assertions curated by our editorial team rather than diving head first into free-form discussion. This shifts criticism away from your partner, and toward a common punching bag, so it’s less personal off the bat.
-Give and Get Feedback:
-Hear from your partner on how tenable your explanation is, and do the same for them.
-Sharpen your own political arguments.
Why use Sandbox?
-Have productive dialogue to find out what you’re missing.
-See what’s possible when you take the time to talk to people you don’t see eye to eye with.
-See where your ideas stack up against your peers.

What's new (v1.2.4)
This release includes an entirely new user experience. Everything looks a little different, but works pretty much the same as before — just a little simpler. Except for the Saturday chat. That’s about 10 times better than before.
We’ve eliminated the “This Week” tab and moved all conversation history to a dedicated Conversations tab. If you get behind, your catch-up tasks will now show up on the home screen.
You can now see star ratings and conversation-level feedback from your partner after a topic wraps. The Level-of-Reasonableness scale is cleaner and Quicksand's sharing controls are more intuitive. Plus a few bug fixes, including Saturday conversation history on Android and a less aggressive offline screen.
