what is this?

Polygraph is a publication that incites water cooler discussion about complex topics. We avoid long-winded essays at all costs, using code, visuals, and animation to construct a different sort of story, one that's often reader-driven, embeddable, and open-source.

FWIW, it's working. Polygraph projects have been covered by pretty much every major publication on the Internet (I challenge you to find one who hasn't!). One project was even the setup for an SNL bit (though it went unnamed).

This thing is about 1 year old. Shit will probably change. Here’s a bit about why we exist. Easiest way to get in touch: .
