About Broadside
Historic Broadsides
In the 1700s, a broadside was a single-sheet poster nailed to walls to alert the public - new laws, declarations, revolutions. It was fast. It was public. And it told people what they needed to know.
We’re bringing that spirit back.
Broadside is today’s version: one place to see what Congress is doing, what it actually means, and why it matters. No noise, no spin, just the facts, posted where everyone can see.
Who made Broadside?
Payton Barnwell started her career in aerospace as a rocket scientist. Now, she leads AI and analytics product at SkyFi, turning satellite data into something all earthlings can easily use. Along the way, she kept running into the same problem back on Earth: laws were being written, passed, and enforced, and most people had no idea what any of it meant.
So she built Broadside. It’s her way of taking the raw, technical mess of government policy and turning it into something people can actually understand. No legalese. No guessing. Just fewer “???” and more “oh, that’s what that means!”.
