We just launched last month 😊 A bootstrapped effort by @payton.bsky.social to make the tool she personally needed.

Currently we pull nonpartisan info straight from the source but we're excited to keep adding details like related bills, potential conflict of interest, etc.

We hope that will high

Carolyn - we made Broadside to be able to track all US federal bills! Would love to know what you think of our summary on the JUDGES.

This link will take you to it without needing an account: use.broadside.app/expandedBill...

PeaceSeeker - We're working on a way to track US representatives and their contributions. We just launched last month and started with federal bills first. Would love to know what you think or would like to see in a rep tracker!

We just launched last month, but there's much more on the horizon!

If there are any features we could add that you think would help you provide transparency into your plans for a senate run, we're also here to listen! We're building anyway so might as well build what the people need.

Austin!! Wait!! We think you may like what we've built at trackthebills.com, but if you don't like it, we want to know why.

Broadside is being built for people like you so we are all ears!

Fred, based on your bio, you seem like the exact person we want honest feedback from.

We're making a government transparency app at www.trackthebills.com and are really excited to hear what people HATE about it right now! Feature requests also welcome.

Hey jdtechie - great perspective here!

Would love your feedback (HONEST only please) on what you think about www.trackthebills.com

We have a database full of bill text/status straight from congress, then run AI over THAT to keep it only from the source but still produce plain-language summaries

Hey Ashton! We're building a government transparency platform - currently it houses trackable and easy-to-understand plain language bill summaries. Love this idea of filtering by X passed by Y.

Any other feature requests that could help you out?

Check us out here: www.trackthebills.com

Aalia - no matter the bill, we're experimenting with ways to communicate hidden/unrelated content in congressional bills! Would love your thought/request on our summaries!

Your post here helped us find a bug on Broadside - thanks!

We made all congressional bills trackable (www.trackthebills.com) and insights like this are simple to monitor! If they aren't let us know.

Looks like another one here for "Expressing support for the designation of February 9, 2025, as the first ever "Gulf of America Day" and celebrating the importance of changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.": use.broadside.app/expandedBill...

Would love to know your thoughts on our tool

David, since you're familiar with this and in the political news sharing sphere, we'd love your feedback (honest!) on Broadside congressional bills summaries/tracking. Nonpartisan, just want to make something for the people.

Interesting - thanks for sharing this! Would this work? Not why we built Broadside, but may be helpful!

This will take you to a bill summary like the image below - link to full congress text on there too.

Make congress work by tracking their progress? Sounds like you'd like what we're building at Broadside! We'd love your feedback on what we have so far to plan what comes next (rep tracking otw).

Here's what our bills look like: use.broadside.app/expandedBill...

Alice! We've built Broadside to surface key insights on congressional bills — states bills on the roadmap but a bit trickier to monitor. Since we're building either way, we'd love your feedback.

Obviously a rhetorical question here, but we'd love your thoughts on our bill insights!

Ideally, we can surface this information to readers quickly (and unbiased - straight from the bill con tent) for those that may be less familiar.
