Show HN: Diofanti.org Tracking government decisions in Greece Hello HN, I'm Florents, and I'm a data engineer based in Greece. I've developed Diofanti.org , an application that tracks public spending and government procurement & decisions in Greece. Here's the big picture: There's diavgeia.gov.gr (diavgeia kinda translates to "transparency") where all Greek state organizations (think ministries, authorities, municipalities, regions) should publish their executive decisions.

Show HN: OpenStreetMap statistics that can be updated with GitHub actions Hey there, I'm an OpenStreetMap enthusiast and I was curious what kind of impact the app I am using has (I use StreetComplete[1], an easy-to-use Android app to add missing information). I couldn't find data for all my questions and some were not up to date, but I found a few starting points on how to do it myself[2][3]. Soon I realized that many more interesting questions about OpenStreetMap in general could be answered with the data and I created a website ( https://ift.tt/UjQYCGB ) to show them. Since I want the data to be up to date, I added a script to update everything easily and packed it in GitHub Actions so I can update the data with a few clicks every month. If you have questions or feedback, feel free to comment here or open an issue at the repo. [1] https://ift.tt/kHobr6c [2] https://ift.tt/ReIFhSG...
