I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted or given an update on @beinformed.app, but I wanted to cover a few things as we move into April. First, there’s a new feature in the app to help you search through the app’s local data to more quickly navigate and find information.

Quick update on @beinformed.app: it's looking like the beta should be ready for early February. There will be some bugs (hopefully no app-crashing ones) and a lot of visual inconsistencies. Some of the UI I'm happy with, some of it is kind of ugly (sorry). I have no idea how long the beta test...
