    I've long been into finding deals on government auction sites (seizures, surplus sales etc.) - right now for example San Diego DHS is selling 26 tons of lead shot, with bidding starting at $1,000 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It has historically been extremely tedious though: scanning dozens of janky sites which have interminable page loading times; back buttons take you all the way back to the homepage etc. The site I built - GovAuctions - lets you search every government surplus auction at once. You can filter by location, category, and price, save items to a watchlist, and get alerts when new auctions…

    Govbase tracks every bill, executive order, and federal regulation from official sources (Congress.gov, Federal Register, White House). An AI pipeline breaks each one down into plain-language summaries and shows who it impacts by demographic group. It also ties each policy directly to bias-rated news coverage and politician social posts on X, Bluesky, and Truth Social.

    Hi HN, I'm Jacek, the solo founder behind this project (Lustra). The Problem: 95% of legislation goes unnoticed because raw legal texts are unreadable. Media coverage is optimized for outrage, not insight. The Solution. I built a digital public infrastructure that: 1. Ingests & Sterilizes: Parses raw bills (PDF/XML) from US & PL APIs. Uses LLMs (Vertex AI, temp=0, strict JSON) to strip political spin. 2. Civic Algorithm: The main feed isn't sorted by an editorial board. It's sorted by user votes ("Shadow Parliament"). What the community cares about rises to the top. 3. Civic Projects:…

    I built Awra to solve a simple problem: understanding what bills in Congress actually mean for regular citizens. What it does: - Explains federal bills in plain language - Shows state-specific impacts - Provides cost analysis when available - Uses AI to answer questions about any bill I've found that while tools like ChatGPT can explain bills, they often hallucinate or work with outdated information. Awra directly fetches from Congress.gov's API and uses RAG to ensure accuracy. Try it out: https://www.awra.ai GitHub: https://github.com/reacthor-ai/awra Looking…
