- knowaveragejoe 10y agoI just wanna say, they could definitely use with a facelift.
- unimpressive 10y agoSite loads fast, has information, not a UI trainwreck. Good enough for me.
- Diederich 10y agoBetter than good enough: it's good. It's also preferable to something more SPAish. To be clear: I've professionally written such javascript only Single Page Applications, and they worked out really well, since they were all dynamic, real-time changing content all the way.
- knowaveragejoe 10y agoIt doesn't need to be cutting edge or anything close to it - just less link soup. I'd hate to use this on mobile, on top of that.
- tfgg 10y agoThat's really amazing. In terms of utility to effort ratio, I think it's right to start with national legislatures. However, I hope there will eventually be a dataset that's as deep as Political Graveyard for the entire planet, even if just to satisfy my inner data nerd :)
- Sabinus 10y agoHow difficult would it be, technically or otherwise, to get these websites to agree to mirror their common content?
- SmokyBourbon 10y agoIt's a list of names and burial sites. I don't see why the hell anybody would think this is useful. The op's website has information about politicians.
