light any behaviors that go against the greater good of the American people. We'll never tell you what to think, but we want to surface ALL info that will help you make your own decision.
Really excited for rep tracking & executive order insights.

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!

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?

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!

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.

Let us know what you think of our key insights from this bill. Our goal is to help people understand federal bills faster -our summaries get posted before congress's do.

Tell your representatives to introduce a new bill or support existing ones so you can track it and quickly understand it on Broadside!

Hey Bike Guy! We made a tool to track these bills (once the text is available from congress .gov) with plain-language summaries and insights on the content.
Would love if you checked it out -- any, all feedback/requests more than welcome!
