Ask HN: Any good tools for viewing congressional bills?
By
tlhunter
I was interested in skimming through the "Big Beautiful Bill" and I found the contents of it on congress.gov[1].
It comes in two formats: One is a text document with with column size restrictions that makes it very hard to read, worse than the text version of an IETF RFC. The second is a machine readable XML document which itself isn't easily read.
Are there any good tools for viewing these? I did find GovTrack.us but it seems to be down so I'm not sure if it solves this problem.
