'National Assembly 101', a website providing information on the activities of members of the National Assembly created by a freelance developer, is attracting attention, recording 71,000 visitors in just 5 days since its launch.
The developer said that he realized the importance of interest in politics after President Yoon Seok-yeol's '12/3 martial law' incident and opened National Assembly 101. After purchasing the domain on December 10, he created the individual pages of the National Assembly members on the 12th and began operating the site in earnest on the 14th by disclosing attendance rate information. On the 15th, the National Assembly constituencies, impeachment vote status, and plenary session attendance rate were updated, attracting many users.
In National Assembly 101, you can easily check the profiles of National Assembly members, their committees, major voting records, and attendance status. The data is provided based on the Open API of the Open National Assembly Information, and the information is manually combined and updated. It is difficult to fully automate attendance data because there is no related API, but Mr. A said that they are working to supplement this.
The developers aim to encourage continued interest in politics and the development of National Assembly 101. “Even if people use the site less, we will continue to update and keep them interested in politics,” he emphasized. “I hope everyone will not lose hope and create a better society.”
