Thingpuls is a full-stack web platform for parliament transparency.
The idea came about because I found it personally hard to wrap my head around what our elected leaders were actually doing in parliament and if they are doing the things that we elected them to do.
It uses a Django REST API backend (auth, parliament data, analytics, engagement features), a React frontend UI, and data ingestion scripts that pull parliamentary information (MPs information, bills, votes, speeches, interests).
It's a system where users can explore legislative activity and view analytics about the current political parties in government and some previous governments
there is also a public api that can be accessed at https://thingpuls.is/api/v1/
this all possible by pulling data from the Alþingi website https://www.althingi.is/altext/xml/
The project is very rough at the moment and is only developed in my very short spare time.
