When you zoom out, you see a clean visual map for human eyes. When you zoom in, it’s a raw, falling stream of structured ASCII text for AI agents.

We don't need to invent a new file format; we can embed logic directly into HTML/SVG frameworks. This Wednesday, we launch by mapping Santa Cruz City Title 24 (Zoning Standards).

Transparency in the public sector is not just about publishing reports; it is about providing open data and developer-friendly access to government information. Seeing institutional developers and open-source initiatives actively engaging here shows how public tech can be done right. 🏢💻

To follow the technical and collaborative side of the Dutch public sector, these are excellent accounts to add:
