Proposals that graduated into working tools, plus two Congressional Tech sub-projects maintained in their own repos.
Project I.2 · Theme I
A dashboard for keeping track of congressional YouTube Channels.
Tracks every House and Senate committee YouTube channel and measures how consistently committees include official Event IDs in their video descriptions, so proceedings can be linked back to Congress.gov records.

A Google Sheets template for easily calculating inflation.
A Google Sheets template plus supporting scripts for quickly adjusting
dollar amounts for inflation — a small utility built for congressional
staff and researchers. Drop in an =INFLATION(amount, start_year, end_year)
formula and the sheet auto-imports the latest BLS CPI data. A companion
InflationSources tab compares BLS against the Fed’s alternative measures
(median, trimmed-mean, sticky-price), with an optional blended average.
apps/inflation_gsheetsCongressional Tech tools that live in their own repositories instead of this monorepo — some are forks kept in sync with an upstream daily, others built here directly. The two so far are deliberate complements: DeltaTrack is the local, zero-dependency diff engine for Hill staffers; BillTrax is the server-backed public platform layering AI, tracking, and cross-bill analysis on top of the same structured-bill approach. Each has its own sub-project page.
Structural bill-version diffs for Hill staffers
DeltaTrack structurally diffs two versions of a U.S. bill and shows what actually changed — added, removed, modified, and moved sections — instead of the formatting noise a plain text diff produces.
Public legislative-intelligence platform
BillTrax is a public-facing legislative-intelligence platform that turns raw congressional data into structured, searchable, and summarized bill information for researchers, advocates, and planning teams.
