Inspiration
Our inspiration came from the need to make legislation more accessible to everyone especially giving non-profit organizations a central hub to make their statement and opinions known on current legislation for the public to see
What it does
It allows non-profit organizations to annotate upcoming and recent bills in congress, allows users to see these annotations to see the feedback, and makes bills more accessible to the general public
How we built it
We wrote the application in Vue.js which is a front-end Javascript library. Also, we used several API's to pull the data on the bills and congressmen: ProPublica and whoismyrepresentative.com which provides a RESTful API
Challenges we ran into
Learning to use Vue, and getting fetch requests to work properly with API keys
Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned
Front-end development with Vue.js
What's next for Bill Feed
Adding an annotation feature, looking for an API that grabs the entire contents of the bill, and login/register pages
