Each policy should have a video clip of the promise

Hey! I think the general UI implications for your fact checking could use work.

Each topic begins with a header that links to the source of the issues. This is problematic because it implies that each issue set may be associated with at most 1 source. In the event I want to pull policies from more than one article, there is no mechanism for doing this.

I recommend a more wikipedia-style citation structure. That way each entry or issue can be associated with one or many sources.

Cheers!

Thoughts? might be too far-fetched.

Prose.io is a platform that was designed to offer a nice non-technical UI on top of the GitHub pull-request system, so that non-technical end-users could modify jekyll-based websites.

https://developmentseed.org/blog/2012/june/25/prose-a-content-editor-for-github/

It tries to run so that the client code interacts as closely as possible with the github api, and uses only the slimmest of gateways to coordinate user authorization.

There are two approaches to using Prose:

1. If you want to use it in it's stock form for content management, just add edit/submit links that point to the proper prose.io url, and users will get a nice form instead of needing to submit PRs or custom webforms. You can customize the prose form with metadata in the project root. This approach uses the existing authorization gateway hosted by the devs.

2. If you want the edit/create forms to be on your own jekyll site (ie. no links to prose.io urls for content management). This approach requires self-hosting your own "authorization gateway". A sample of this approach would be the JKAN project.

Can we have a feature to sort by what status the promise is? Thanks.

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Mobile site of TrumpTracker looks terrible, mainly because of the category and status columns taking up unnecessary space.

One option would be to remove both of these with CSS breakpoints or remove them altogether from the site, even the desktop version.

Make sure you are using the latest version: pull latest commits before reporting any issues.

• I've verified and I assure that I'm looking at the latest version of Trump Tracker.

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

• At least skimmed through README and most notably the To Do List section.
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of your issue?

• Bug report (encountered problems with the trumptracker website)
• Site support request (request for adding support)
• Feature request (request for a new functionality)
• Question
• Other

And as always, thank you for your contribution.

Several items (particularly on the 'International' tab) are statements of Trumps' beliefs, rather than promises about what he will do. For example,

• "Israel is the state of the Jewish people, who have lived in that land for 3,500 years. The State of Israel was founded with courage and determination by great men and women against enormous odds and is an inspiration to people everywhere who value freedom and human dignity."
• "Clinton voted for the war, so she has bad judgment."

I don't know if this came up before... Sorry if that's the case! The typeform window didn't pop up on my Chrome, IE or my phone. I can try fixing it tonight or tomorrow if no one wants it. (The actual form seems to be working tho)

Formatting errors examples on site:

1. Against the H-1B visa program.

2. Pick Supreme Court justices who are "really great legal scholars."

3. It's unclear where Trump stands on "first use," or if he'd be willing to strike first.

4. Overturn Roe v. Wade, then let states decide it.

5. Defund Planned Parenthood.

6. It doesn't matter, people make mistakes.

7. It's OK that Trump's running mate voted for the Iraq war, but it's not OK that Clinton did.

8. Get rid of Common Core because it's "a disaster" and a "very bad thing." Trump says he wants to give local school districts more control and might even eliminate the Department of Education.

Hi, I think this is a great project and thank you for developing it. I wonder if expanding it to track all of this actions, not just his promises would add value. It could track his executive actions, legislation, deals etc and the promises list could still be maintained and cross referenced with that "feed". A centralized, chronological and annotated list would be highly valuable in this noisy media landscape! 👍

a) Could you make the red and green colors a bit stronger so they would be better visible?

b) also, it would be great if you could add an additional number or letter code for your 4 categories in a separate column to the right of each promise, so one could filter or sort them by that?

Serial Number ID could work, or revamp.

Sometimes the page can take awhile to load. My first load (admittedly when my computer was chugging along) took 10 seconds. This was what I saw during that time: https://imgur.com/OmQ5Xbx.png

Would be great if the placeholder text was something more indicative of the loading process :)

Just thinking dimmed text saying something like "loading..." or whatever

Trump never got rid of gun-free zones in schools on his first day. His promise is never going to be completely fulfilled. However, he could still accomplish it a few days from now.

I propose adding the category "Partially Achieved" for promises he never completely fulfilled, but never completely broken.

Whath about to create a more generic repo to make monitoring in every country?

Can you make labels like In Progress/Achieved/Broken clickable and therefore acting as filters? Like the TrudeauMetre does?

This is great but like you said, would benefit from not having everything hard-coded. I'd suggest a simple static site generator like Jekyll with the "promises" being pulled from a JSON list.

I'm happy to submit a PR if you're interested in taking that route.

Referencing https://www.trudeaumetre.ca/analytics

Great idea, fantastic implementation. Would definitely like to implement this for the first 100 days at least.

Thoughts?

Some commit broke the search function, the headers say 'undefined'.

So there can be some kind of fact check

@MattSandy the sub-heading search has the same persistent issue which was present in the global headings, i.e, the fact that users cannot search with auto-capitalized words. Repeal doesn't work while repeal does. Maybe we can refactor the JS code so it's DRY?

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

This could be useful. It would make it easier to track changes from day to day, as many times I go on the page only to realize I don't know what is new and what was already there.
Just a suggestion, not sure how easy/hard it would be to implement, if possible at all.

I'd like to contribute as this seems like an interesting project - were you planning to include some sort of CMS to manage the promises? I think a flat-file CMS might be good here - simple and easy to manage.

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I would like a way to show if the goal was still accomplished, despite that it wasn't on the first day in office. For example, #86 is under progress currently, but was not accomplished on the first day in office. If it is accomplished, adding a way to show #86 as not broken, but delayed would be helpful

It would be nice to be able to filter on completion status, e.g. 'show me all broken promises' or 'show me all achieved promises'.

282 promises in one list:

‘I will give you everything.’ Here are 282 of Donald Trump’s campaign promises.

I'd like to hear back on the data structure from #66 before making a PR to integrate all these. Note, use this article as one source, but also ensure the linked sources are also included (PR #66 handles multiple sources per promise). I'd recommend using an archive.org link, especially on sites that are prone to change.

We should add information like available status codes to the readme to help people more easily contribute.

Although master is always "live" on Github Pages, CI/CD integration would let us incorporate automated tests and would be a good time to run the bot script to create Reddit threads when new promises are added.

I'll submit a PR shortly...

Hey, I personally disagree with marking "Suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting." as completed, I feel that it should be in-progress. What is your reasoning behind this?

See the following:

Thanks!

submitted by /u/WltsMXaBSd1024

We removed a few sources, changed a few words around and need a little bit of help migrating to the new format structure.

help needed! v3 awaits!

An RSS feed would be excellent for updates.

To Do

1. From Google : Trump issues

2. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/issues

3. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/

I promise that within weeks of my Administration being sworn into office, I will see to the approval of Poland in the Visa Waiver Program.

http://abc7chicago.com/politics/donald-trump-campaigns-in-chicago/1530093/

Add Comment section linking to /r/trumptracker on each policy on the right-hand side. Keep comments off the site to avoid toxicity + speed of the site.

to test - change status in _data.json to one of the following options and then search for it using main-nav.

broken => danger class
achieved => success class

TRANSCRIPT from: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/27/us/politics/transcript-debate.html

HOLT: Mr. Trump, we’re talking about the burden that Americans have to pay, yet you have not released your tax returns. And the reason nominees have released their returns for decades is so that voters will know if their potential president owes money to — who he owes it to and any business conflicts. Don’t Americans have a right to know if there are any conflicts of interest?

TRUMP: I don’t mind releasing — I’m under a routine audit. And it’ll be released. And — as soon as the audit’s finished, it will be released.

Shaky at best though, he said he doesn't mind releasing.

Status: Broken

4. Negotiate for lower drug prices for Medicare -- During the campaign, Donald Trump promised to let Medicare negotiate bulk pricing discounts for prescription drugs. Today, after meeting with pharmaceutical industry lobbyists and executives, he has backed down from that promise.

This probably the most thorough tracker out there, but it hasn't been updated to reflect Trump's changes.

Trump has "in progress" two of his goals (funding the construction of the wall on the Southern border and repealing/replacing? the Affordable Care Act.

Trump has achieved his withdrawal from the TPP (http://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Trump-era-begins/US-announces-withdrawal-from-TPP).

Thank you

Not sure your politics, but I would think it might be worth using a Trump photo on the front page that is a little more neutral. The current photo seems to want to convey him as "unpresidential", and will likely make anyone who sympathizes with him (ie. 48% of voters) assume the site is biased against him.

Let's make a small change that will make those folks a little bit more likely to stay on the the website :)

How technical will Trump Tracker be on the president's promises? Will promises involving time constraints which are directly mentioned like on the "first day" be held to that time in terms of completion status?
I really like this project idea! Will future promises made be added on or is it just campaign promises?

See https://github.com/TrumpTracker/trumptracker.github.io/blob/master/_layouts/page.html#L211, it just outputs <a href> for some reason. You can test it by searching something in the upper bar, and clicking one of the categories.

hasn't updated yet, will need to review code in the morning.

Hi.
Just a request. Since most of the site is going to be text-based, can you re-style the jekyll files to blow up the font-size to at least 16 or 18 on tablets and computers?
14px is just ridiculous to have for body text in 2016. A bigger font size will make the viewer's eyes more relaxed while reading :)

If is possible link all raw data of promises on the website in order to make them open. Should be nice to have also Creative Commons licence to define the term of reuse.
