Greenhouse

@dskaletsky Thanks! @lessig actually helped launch Greenhouse with a blog post, which you can see here: http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/88...

Great idea and save a lot of time of developers! Good job team :)

This is so cool. It's a browser plugin that inserts hover links where politicians' names are on the page. Hover to see a quick card detailing what lobbies their biggest donations come from, and what percent are <$200. Reading about a political issue? Easily see who's in a conflict of interest. Click to learn more details about their contributions, and positions on specific campaign finance reform proposals. Their landing page says it well: "Puts vital data where it’s most relevant so you can discover the real impact of money on our political system."

Oh - and the creator is a 16 years old high school sophomore: http://nicholasrub.in/ Not even old enough to vote, but old enough to use tech to add transparency for those who can. Super cool.

this is pretty fun, especially the name which is the same as the World's biggest Marijuana seeds provider from Amsterdam haha http://www.greenhouseseeds.nl/home

super cool - love seeing stories like this. let's get this kid some well-deserved buzz. cc'ing founder @nickrubin - what inspired you to build this? Where's it going?

This is awesome. They take opensecrets.org data and present it effectively for the average consumer. Huge fan of opensecrets.org. I've spent countless hours in rabbit holes looking to see how Super PACs received funding and who/what their spending it on. It's a fascinating resource for monitoring political funds.
