Used my portfolio to experiment with React and SVG :)

Thanks! That feedback is great, I'm still working away at the site, so definitely looking to improve what's there and build up the features. We just went 'live' on the weekend, so there's definitely still a few rough edges I'm keen to fix (like the popup closing thing haha), but figured it'd be good to get some eyes on it in the lead up to the election in July.

Actually the current feature I'm about to start work on is electorate/state maps which provide another interface for searching for politicians. Definitely agree that filtering by electorate/state would be a useful addition.

The ability to compare politicians/policies is actually something I've heard a few people say they would like, I might need to start thinking of how I might be able to implement that.

Thanks for spreading the word, hopefully the site is a little bit useful :)

I've been building Polidex, a site which helps Australians keep track of their politicians. I've been making the site with React, which has been a fun learning experience. The site uses some public data sources for it's info, so it's been an interesting challenge integrating external resources with my design. You can take a look at Polidex

Agreed, the synergy between that splash and the content is great. That animation definitely spiked my curiosity, and I ended up reading all of the copy.
