Awra – AI-powered legislative bill analyzer
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about any bill I've found that while tools like ChatGPT can explain bills, they often hallucinate or work with outdated information.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…

It pulls data directly from Congress.gov's API to answer questions about legislation while minimizing inaccuracy. The tool is designed for citizens who want to understand what proposed bills actually mean for them, offering more current and reliable information than general-purpose AI tools.

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
