Hey HN! I've been wondering for a while how we might be able to make the process of evaluating the politicians we vote for more transparent. In the most recent SF election- for example- I only really had a few promotional websites and some loose policy statements to go off of.<p>This seems quite inefficient, especially considering how much signal- social media posts, policy decisions, interviews- exists on the internet for each politician.<p>So, I put together Candidly (<a href="https://votecandidly.com/" rel="nofollow">https://votecandidly.com/</a>) as an experiment (for now, it only has information on the candidates for SF's upcoming state senate election.)<p>*The Core Idea*: Candidly indexes each politician's most recent tweets, interviews, and policy decisions- and lets you interface in a conversational manner with each politician's stated and demonstrated opinions.<p>Let me know what you think!
