New UK Authorities Frontend Launched

Today marks an exciting milestone for civic transparency tools. We've launched a comprehensive frontend for exploring UK local authority data that makes it easier than ever to understand how local government works.

The new interface allows users to browse through hundreds of councils, thousands of councillors, and track decision-making processes with an intuitive, user-friendly design. Whether you're a journalist, researcher, or simply a curious citizen, this tool provides unprecedented access to local authority information.

Key features include:

• Interactive council search and filtering
• Detailed councillor profiles and contact information
• Decision tracking and transparency tools
• Mobile-responsive design for access anywhere

This represents months of work compiling and structuring data from across the UK. We believe that transparency is essential for democracy, and tools like this help citizens stay informed about the decisions that affect their daily lives.

The Power of 220 Words: Building Writing Habits

Many aspiring writers struggle with the overwhelming prospect of writing a novel. The blank page can feel intimidating, and the goal of 50,000-80,000 words seems impossibly distant. That's why we developed "The Daily Novel" approach: just 220 words per day.

This seemingly small commitment—less than a page of writing—adds up to a complete novel in just one year. The psychological barrier is low enough that anyone can start, but the cumulative effect is transformative. Consistency trumps intensity when it comes to creative projects.

The accompanying worksheets help writers develop characters, plot structure, and maintain momentum throughout the year. It's about making the impossible possible through small, daily actions.
