Does anyone live in a city (within the US) that takes a similar approach to GDS? I live in SF and developers usually create their own apps for services (Like MUNI/BART) but the city seems to have a mix of good and bad UX when it comes to municipal services (from my experience, at least)
- kristianc 10y agoNot sure about at a municipal level, but USDS was based on GDS (https://www.usds.gov/ https://www.usds.gov/).
- zeristor 10y agoStrange how it doesn't credit GDS
- kristianc 10y agoIt doesn't, but more detail here> https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/01/16/us-uk-digital-government-partnership https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/01/16/us-uk-digital-gov...
- leobakerhytch 10y agoLink to https://data.gov.uk https://data.gov.uk on that page in fact points to ’file:///C:/Users/mcallister_mj2/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/5P3C0P9L/data.gov.uk’ Oh dear.
- verst 10y ago18F is also based on GDS. 18f.gov Explanation of the difference between USDS and 18F: http://ben.balter.com/2015/04/22/the-difference-between-18f-and-usds/ http://ben.balter.com/2015/04/22/the-difference-between-18f-...
- intrasight 10y agoI live in Pittsburgh. I don't know if it is a "rule", but none of the municipal applications I've built are apps. As we show how much less expensive responsive web is to develop and maintain, it will only get harder for efficient and competent agencies to propose to build an app. Of course inefficient, corrupt agencies will probably still build apps.
