Show HN: open source congress tracking application
It's basically a just a mailing list that subscribes you to the votes of your congress members. It's free to sign up and easy to unsubscribe.
I had initially written this as a script and decided to put it behind a web interface so others could use it.
Here is the repo:
https://github.com/bhelx/congress_track/
Needs a mobile responsive layout and will probably have bugs.
- d1_mo 13y agoReally cool app, but will it be around? Any plans to monetize it?
- bhelx 13y agoThank you. No plans to monetize it. It's been running for about a month and it's fairly low maintenance. I find it really useful myself so I have an incentive to keep it running. I'm currently only spending a couple dollars a month on the heroku costs but wouldn't mind paying more if people actually found it useful. If the financial burden was ever enough I'd just take donations. I doubt it will get that far though.
