Politicker

A reddit-style aggregation of (one or all of):

• Bills on Senate Floor
• Bills on House Floor
• Bills presented to President
• Senator Votes (who votes for what)
• House Votes (who votes for what)

Architecture at a glance

The tech stack is split into two repositories. The first, politicker-data, is a command-line tool that fetches data from various sources and imports it into (for now) a postgres database.

The second is the web site. More to come on what this is built with.
