It seems to be the cool lib thing to do. I'm a software dev. What do you want to build?

    you could do a political encyclopedia app with current politicians by state/county, as well as those running in current races that keeps track of platform, how much lobbying/super pac cash they've recieved from year to year, etc. as well as a list of controversies.

    it'd be a fuck ton of work, but it'd be nice to have for voting in local elections.

    i know fuck electoralism and all, but that shit can actually matter on the local level.

    have all the platforms be based on a table, rather than their giant wall of texts where you have to decipher their stances. you'd probably need loads of money unless you had a large team, otherwise you'd have to go wiki style, which leads to tons of astroturfing for this kind of thing.

    nvm.

    how about just like a daily motivating quote app that just only quotes from a leftist perspective? nice, easy, more effective.

        yeah, something like that, but instead of based on something you have to look up, it starts with a map and you can click a state, then a county.
