Release log

What you can do in each version.

  1. 1.3.2

    • Browse every matching law, with estimated result counts clearly labelled.
    • Open law details using the keyboard and return to your place with Escape.
    • Keep your filter edits when switching between mobile and desktop layouts.
    GitHub release ↗
  2. 1.3.1

    • Search, the map, and the city/county fields pick the same place.
    • If results fail to load, you see an error, not an empty list.
    • The map and its legend share one model, so zoom and color stay in sync.
    GitHub release ↗
  3. 1.2.0

    • Open a law and see the fine it states: the amount, whether each day counts again, and whether jail is mentioned.
    • Filter to laws that state a fine, mention jail, or charge per day.
    • Colour the map by how often a place’s code states a dollar fine.
    GitHub release ↗
  4. 1.1.1

    • Type a state name (colorado) and go to that state, not a city that shares the name.
    • See that state’s full law list, not only laws that mention the word.
    • Read law titles and bodies as normal text, with headings and tables.
    GitHub release ↗
  5. 1.1.0

    • Zoom a state and see counties colored from a city’s code when that city sits in only one county.
    • Hover those counties to see they are the city’s code, not county law.
    • Houston, Dallas, and Austin stay empty. They span more than one county.
    GitHub release ↗
  6. 1.0.0

    • Search and filter 2.2 million U.S. local laws.
    • Color the map by how a rule reads, how much discretion it leaves, and how serious the problem is.
    • Open a state for its profile, notable laws, and the full results list.
