Originally assembled in Northern California to showcase a comedic perspective long ignored by mainstream entertainment, CWDA has performed for thousands of audiences of all abilities at colleges, comedy clubs, corporate events, and everywhere in between. Now, they’re hitting the road once again — bringing laughter, insight, and bold storytelling to three states while raising funds for their upcoming comedy docu-special titled “Comedians with Disabilities Act: Going Beyond the Punchlines.”
The film will spotlight 10 comedians with a variety of disabilities, capturing both their on-stage brilliance and the real-life experiences behind the humor. Several of the featured comedians will be performing live during this spring run, offering audiences a preview of the powerful voices and unforgettable personalities that will appear in the documentary.
This Springs tour weaves theaters, colleges and community venues to showcase the talents of 11 comedians, many of whom are in the docu-special, across 7 venues (with even more to come!). Disability representation for this season’s tour includes a diverse group of comedians and perspective from lived experiences as individuals with visible and nonapparent disabilities.

Floify launches Dynamic Apps 2.0, enabling lenders to create fully customizable loan applications
BOULDER, Colo., March 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced the release of Dynamic Apps 2.0, a major platform enhancement that allows lenders to create fully customizable loan applications tailored to specific loan purposes, borrower scenarios and business workflows without relying on engineering resources or third-party integrations.
Image caption: Floify.
With Dynamic Apps 2.0, lenders can configure application experiences for loan types beyond traditional purchase and refinance mortgages, including HELOCs, construction loans, agricultural lending, non-QM products and other specialized financing options, without requiring custom development or separate application flows.
This new capability enables lenders to control which application sections and questions appear for each loan type and automate downstream processes such as document requests and disclosures, allowing them to expand into new lending categories while maintaining a single, scalable technology platform.
Dynamic Apps 2.0 works in sync with Floify’s previously embedded AI capabilities to extract borrower data from uploaded documents, auto-populate portions of the 1003 loan application, validate document uploads and assist with income calculations and underwriting preparation. By combining configurable workflows with automation, lenders can reduce manual data entry, improve application accuracy and accelerate file readiness earlier in the loan process.
“Dynamic Apps 2.0 allows lenders to design application experiences that match their workflows and product mix, whether that’s a traditional mortgage, a HELOC or a specialty lending program,” said Sydney Barber, head of product at Floify. “By tailoring the application structure to the loan purpose, lenders can capture the right information upfront and eliminate unnecessary friction for both borrowers and lending teams.”
“This is a major step forward in turning the POS into a configurable growth platform for lenders,” said Joshua Steffan, SVP and Group General Manager at Porch Group and Interim President and General Manager of Floify. “By pairing configurable applications with embedded AI automation, lenders can streamline data capture, reduce manual work and move cleaner loan files through the process faster.”
Dynamic Apps 2.0 is available now. Learn more at booth 713 at ICE Experience, March 16–18 and request a demo at https://bit.ly/3NgpE5j
ABOUT FLOIFY:
Floify is a fully configurable point of sale (POS) platform that streamlines the loan process with a secure application, communication and document portal between lenders, borrowers, referral partners and other mortgage stakeholders. Its Dynamic AI feature reimagines the mortgage application process by moving document collection and AI-driven data extraction to the very beginning of the process, allowing borrowers to upload key documents and have applications prepopulated with verified information, accelerating pre-approvals and simplifying the borrower experience. Floify is a subsidiary of Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch Group”) (NASDAQ: PRCH). For more, visit https://floify.com/ or find us on social media at Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter / X.
