MapMyReps.us

Hi All,

Thanks very much for your efforts here. I'm working on http://mapmyreps.us as a fun project that is essentially a visual layout of the data from https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators and makes use of the images from https://github.com/unitedstates/images. Feel free to link to http://mapmyreps.us wherever is fit.

Hoping to give back and contribute to this project soon!

I'm loving this! great visuals. Similar in goals to a project I just launched - https://apps.ourvoiceusa.org/politician-search/

Are you sharing the source code for your app? I'd like to help collaborate.

Thanks @cormander! The design credit goes to a professional designer who worked with me to build it. And yes, the source code is open: https://github.com/tplorts/mapmyreps

Thanks for sharing!

Hi @claudiahdezmorales! You can find the code for the current site at https://github.com/tplorts/mapmyreps-angular — that’s what’s currently up on http://mapmyreps.us/

But, before you go digging around that repo, it uses Angular (as you may have guessed from the repo name), and I felt that it was overly complicated and messy code. So, just this past week, I’ve been working on a total rewrite of the site using React instead of Angular. The repo is private at the moment but I’m about to publicize it. I’d really recommend taking a look at the new React repo (at the original URL) once I have that ready. It’s almost done and I might even publicize it this evening, though there are still a few things for me to get done before all the prior function of the site is restored in the React version. Either way, I’ll still be keeping the angular repo on my GitHub just as a reference.

I'm working on something with maps, and I just love the way you are working whit colors and layers in this project. Is there a place where I can find the source code?

@claudiahdezmorales I just made the new repo public: https://github.com/tplorts/mapmyreps

And while it's still a work in progress, I'm temporarily hosting it at http://new-mapmyreps.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/

Hey @tplorts Love it! I’ve actually been using React for a while now and might be able to help. Any interest? My goal would be to also include state reps as well. The shape files for it are in this repo per a pull request I did a while ago. Let me know. Thanks.

@cormander nice! Let me know what sort of function/features you imagine adding and we can plan accordingly. At the moment I'm still finishing the full port over to React and making changes all over the place as I add features in and reorganize code, so once that's done it'll be more stable and easier to collaborate on this.
