Heartbroken after the Brexit vote? There's an app for that.
Hey, Remainers: Feeling abandoned post-Brexit vote? Sure, 52 percent of your fellow Britons may have voted to leave the European Union — and for you Englanders, more desertion may be in your future — but fret not. If you're in need of a good cuddle to ease your EU-loving heart, two Remain-supporting voters want to help you out via their new dating app, Remainder.
Remainder is touted as "the dating and social app for the 48 percent" — as in, the 48 percent of voters who supported staying in the EU — and its creators came up with the idea to cheer up their EU-allied friends. "All the Remain voters we know seemed so depressed," the Remainder team told Metro. "We thought the best way of recovering must be to go out for a few drinks with someone who's in the same boat."
Per the app's official website, Remainder is "a labor of love by two heartbroken Remain voters." The creators are seeking roughly $6,700 in donations via their Crowdfunder page — but hey, isn't that a small price to pay for true, EU-faithful love?
