Hi everyone! I'm an incoming college freshman planning to study Computer Science and thought that this would be a decent project to spend my time on over the summer.
StatePulse is a webapp designed to encourage people to engage with their state's politics! It aggregates legislation from 2024 from all fifty U.S. states (still a work in progress, with over 100k bills!), with local llm-generated summaries to help you understand the bill's contents and aims.
Core Features:
-
Account creation with OAuth
-
Legislation topic tracking and bookmarking
-
Dashboard for broad statistics regarding active legislators, recent legislation, and hot topics
-
Find your state-level representatives and generate a message to them through the civics feature
-
Post questions, bug reports, and express your thoughts on particular legislation
-
High level views of legislation activity throught the U.S.
-
Generate AI summaries of bills in different venacular (plain english, legalese, or tweet length)
-
And more!
Special thanks to the OpenStates community for providing an amazing API for aggregating legislation, representatives, and jurisdictions (states) with their custom web scrapers! Also special thanks to Leaflet (OpenStreetMaps) for amazing map rendering. This project would not be possible without them.
