IAmA civic hacker + former House staffer. Last year I created an app that mirrors Congress’s radio-frequency voting bells with push alerts. My new webapp CapitolBells.com let’s you crowd-lobby Congress by writing and upvoting positions on any bill, from stopping SOPA 2 to legalizing hemp farms. AMA.

Reddit, I am a former House staffer and just built an iPhone app that hacks into Congress's local voting alert system to notify its users when Congress is actually voting and what they are voting on. Ask me anything!

I’m a former congressional staffer & current app developer. I assume most of us agree, myself included, that the “shit-filled cornucopia that just keeps on giving 2016" should be scrapped, and we should just start over, so I built an “Election Do-over” into my app Cloakroom to do exactly that. AMA.
