Greetings Countable commenters, critics, and Take Actioners...

Like Congress, we at Countable work for you. Unlike Congress, we want to get better and more efficient at our job.

We’ll be querying you about a number of ways we can improve Countable over the next few weeks, but this afternoon, we’re focusing on Notifications.

Notifications

Presently, Countable offers notifications when…

(P.S. – you can edit your notification settings here)

We also offer subscriptions to two newsletters:

The Daily Countable
This Week In Congress

When and how often do you want notifications?

What information do you want included in the notification?
Are you getting too many notifications?
Not enough?
Is it obvious what the “action” is? That is, does the notification make clear how you can Take Action with your reps?
Do you want more control over when you receive notifications? (And what time do you want the Daily Countable?)
Do you want more notifications about breaking news?
Do you want notifications about certain issues or keywords? Which?
Do our notifications make you want to click for more?

Talk to us

Countable isn’t meant to be read, it’s meant to be used. A way of getting you in touch with your lawmakers so can let them know how to vote on current bills or what legislation they should introduce.

Share your thoughts by commenting below, or reach out via email.

Thanks for helping us improve your Countable experience.
