PolitiekPraat
I started PolitiekPraat in 2022 to write about Dutch politics in plain language. It grew into a platform for articles, explainers and political tools.
Making Dutch politics easier to follow.
What it needed to do
Political coverage often assumes you already know the institutions, parties and procedures. I wanted a place where the context was part of the story, rather than another thing to look up.
What I built
I built the publication in Laravel and developed tools alongside the articles. Readers can compare party positions and explore voting records without leaving the site.
How it comes together
The writing and the software are part of the same project. A political question can become an article, a comparison or an interactive tool, depending on what helps explain it.
