For Journalists

Election night’s already on deadline. This is how you publish first.

Live embeds, county pages you can link straight to, and a Historian that answers questions faster than you can open a new tab. Built by a former organizer, for the people writing the first draft of history.

Ask the Historian Grab an embed

Built for the 5 PM desk call

Grab a county, compare two places, drop a live chart into the story — all in the time it takes to reload your CMS. No graphics pipeline. No Slack ping to the data team.

Six embeddable widgets for liveblogs, sidebars, and explainers
County, district, city, metro, and media-market pages ready to link
The Historian answers background questions before a story hits the wire

When the paid plans earn their keep

Pro is for the reporter who needs everything, fast. Insider adds API access and bulk exports for the data desk. Institutional covers the whole newsroom on one invoice.

Pro: every county and precinct, unlimited Historian, clean embeds, CSV anywhere
Insider: the API, block-level detail, JSON and XLSX exports, PDFs for print
Institutional: white-label embeds and a person on our end for rollout

How the trial works

Paid plans start with a 7-day trial. Stripe takes a card at signup, but we don't charge you unless you stay after day seven. Cancel any time. No games.

Start with the Historian to see the data move
Use embeds when you need a live chart in a hurry
Reach for the API when one-off embeds stop scaling

The newsroom workflow

From county question to published chart — in one session.

Deadline-first. Here’s the path: open a county, ask a follow-up, grab the embed, ship it.
