It also ties each policy directly to bias-rated news coverage and politician social posts on X, Bluesky, and Truth Social. You can follow a single bill from the official text to how media frames it to what your representatives are saying about it.
Free on web, iOS, and Android.
I'd love feedback from the community, especially on the data pipeline or what policy areas/features you feel are missing.
I found it infeasible, but I’m wondering if you saw rich enough data while making this that you think such a project is viable?
Aside from "lawmakers don't/won't understand the tool", why not do it this way?
However, the draft stage isn't documented this way. Members negotiate whatever between themselves (well, really their staffers) and this happens over email, in discussions, via Word documents - whatever works.
I guess in the git metaphor, drafts are in flux while being worked on as a commit, and are squashed and then accessible as such squashed commits once initially introduced or whenever they lead to bill amendments. You can't necessarily track down what member was responsible for a specific sentence in an amendment.
In reality, the social posts no longer need to do anything but lie about whatever the title might mean.
For example, the bill title say fixing hospitals, but it contains some policy changes about housing.
