Next steps:
- More data from the party websites
- Candidate statements (and embeddings which is where the real fun begins)
- Show candidates "neighbors" based on geodata
If I get help I'd love to get data from social media, find more open datasets to join in, and anything else you can think of. I need help! If you're a developer interested in #civics #civichacking and #irishpolitics, or just want experience with #nushell, #datasette, or #sqlite - please reply to me here, there's plenty to do.
A very interesting profile 👇
The good hacker: can Taiwanese activist turned politician Audrey Tang detoxify the internet? | Taiwan | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/17/audrey-tang-toxic-social-media-fake-news-taiwan-trans-government-internet
As the ‘civic hacker’ who became Taiwan’s first transgender cabinet minister, she is used to breaking boundaries. What can the rest of the world learn from her vision of a happy and inclusive web?
@risottobias we're using a github repo to track todo items for @DoESLiverpool - https://github.com/doesliverpool/somebody-should/issues
And I did spin up one (unofficially) for Liverpool, but it hasn't really taken root https://github.com/Liverpool-UK/somebody-should/issues 😀

1. le azioni di #civichacking degli attivisti abilitano ancora riusi intelligenti dei dati, ma comportano un costo per i singoli cittadini che mi fa arrabbiare. Quanto ancora può reggere questo sforzo della società civile? Possibile che nel 2023 siamo ancora a questo punto?
2. le persone e il capitale sociale che si portano dietro cambiano davvero le cose, quando si mette sul piatto un vero rapporto di #collaborazione. Il caso di IT-alert è davvero una bella pratica, dovrebbe essere la consuetudine, ma è ancora un caso troppo isolato nel rapporto tra le parti;
3. #crisiclimatica, riuso e #PNRR: qui è dove io ho perso la pazienza. Qui è dove la collaborazione è una presa per i fondelli della società civile.

Here's an update on the #civicHacking project I've been posting about ... the #Austin Public #Library Event Finder.
I've got an unstyled prototype that's setup and doing round trips to the API service.
Screenshot attached.
I'm far enough along in my #civicHacking project to tell you the working title is "APL Event Finder". It will provide advanced search and notifications for events at the #Austin Public #Library.
The two core microservices have MVP implementations. This weekend I'll start on the UI. That'll be fun. Haven't done significant front-end work in years. (Last time I did I used knockout.js ... 'member that?)
