I built a free tool that lets you view the official filings instead of manually searching the congress websites

Not sure if it's even worth sharing, but in the beginning of January I started working on a Chrome Extension - Politraders - that automatically scans through House/Senate websites everyday and categorizes a data set in a more readable format. It took me a lot of restless nights building it. Pretty much what Capitol Trades and Quiver Quant are doing, but, directly providing a link to the official filing.

If you click directly on the stock purchase, you'll navigate to the official filing from Congress websites.

My goal is to bring more awareness about the congress trading. I never plan to monetize it and think about open sourcing the project, just don't want to expose my personal information it took to build this tool. I am a single person developer/designer.

Additionally, you can search for a specific company or politician, and find the lobbying information, and individual trades.

The extension only shows the stocks and companies traded on NYSE/NASDAQ and arranges by the trade volume.

Additionally, a "New Trade Alert" chronologically alerts the trades. You can also use it alongside Robinhood/Webull/Schwab/TradingView websites and it will automatically pick up the stock your page is on currently.

I am not posting any links here, just search google for Politraders extension and install officially from chrome web store.

I also write blogs and investigations as to why politicians are purchasing stocks. Currently working on Gary Peters and Kraft Heinz story.

Pretty self-intuitive, but let me know if you got questions.
