Drey Dossier Tracking Machines: Post What You’re Building
You guys are building the coolest things, and I don’t want them trapped in my inbox anymore.
Every day, people send me GitHubs, Claude artifacts, spreadsheets, dashboards, prompts, scrapers, bots, FOIA helpers, agency trackers, public official trackers, court trackers, alert systems, etc. Basically all these little accountability machines you’re making to keep up with what’s going on.
I am obsessed with them and don't think they should live in my inbox.
This thread is for anything you’ve built that helps people track power, organize information, monitor institutions, file requests, follow public data, or understand systems that are usually annoying or impossible to follow.
Whatever you are building doesn't need to be perfect or even finished. If it helps you track something, explain something, request something, organize something, or stay up to date on something, please post it here.
THE FUN PART: at the beginning of my live each week, before we get into the topic of the day, I will go through what people have built and linked here. We’ll click through what people are building, talk about what it does, what problem it solves, how others might use it, and how it might inspire someone else to build their own version.
A lot of what I have been building out lately have been private trackers and daily alert systems on GitHub that I can’t fully open up (for obvious reasons), but I can talk through the concept, the structure, and the kinds of things I’m trying to monitor. The point is we should be inspiring each other by using tech to hold tech accountable.
ONLY RULE: Do not post anything that exposes private info, endangers sources, or gives bad actors a roadmap.
If you post something, include the link, what it does, what it tracks, and whether you want feedback, collaborators, testers, or just want to show people what you made.
Bring me your beautiful tracking machines, and let’s build the Drey Dossier toolbox together.
