Show HN: Website to track promises made by Indian ministers
- superasn 11y agoHi, this website was inspired by a thread on reddit india yesterday[1]. I’m learning AngularJS so coding this sounded like a good way to pass my Sunday. The first version is the result of an all nighter :) Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

- superasn 11y agoThank you. Someone posted an idea for it on Reddit on Saturday night, so I worked on it on Sunday and wanted to get it online as quickly as possible. It did get very good traction. Was #1 on Reddit India's homepage for nearly whole day and is up to nearly 500 regd signups now! A few reporters have also contacted me (Deccan Herald, etc) who want to feature it in in print. So far so good :) IMO it's missing quite a few features but I hope to release them every weekend.
- gesman 11y agoThis is actually interesting idea, certainly applicable worldwide :) I'd add a little more info on each "promise": - Date/Time - Promise content - Promise Scope (number of people to be affected, monetary impact, social impact, etc...) - Promised delivery date (specific/vague/unclear/unspecified). Lots of politicians are mastered an art of "open ended" promises and this could shed the light on "masters". - Link to original source (audio/video/interview/TV/Radio/Conference/../) - Progress indicator. - Address (email/phone/mailing addr) to contact politician.

- superasn 11y agoThanks for the suggestions. As you can see in the image, there are fields for that except "promise scope". http://i.imgur.com/xBN4j24.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xBN4j24.jpg
