Want to know where your tax money goes? It has become unreasonably hard to track the US Governments spending. So, I aggregated FY2025 budget data and packaged it all in a neat activism first UI.

• See where your money goes in a simple way • AI-generated e-mails (plus ready-made prompt)
• See a whole load of organizations that align with your interests • See how much time of your life you gave to Uncle Sam • Light/Dark modes and a mobile first UI

• Next.js 15 (App Router) + React 18
• TypeScript everywhere
• Tailwind CSS + Radix UI primitives
• Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights baked in
• Genkit / Google AI for LLM calls
• Firebase (auth & data) coming soon ☁️

# 1. Install deps
pnpm i    # or npm install / yarn

# 2. Run the dev server
pnpm dev  # http://localhost:9002

Create a .env.local and fill in anything marked process.env.* in the codebase—most notably API keys for Genkit / Google AI if you want e-mail generation to work.

pnpm build   # ⏳ compiles & bundles
pnpm start   # 🔥 serves the built app

Deploying to Vercel? Just push to main (see Branch Strategy) and let the UI do its thing.

Numbers live in src/services/tax-spending.ts.

export const REFERENCE_TOTAL_TAX = 20000; // 👈 your test income here

export const detailedBreakdown = [
  { category: 'Health', percentage: 14.7 },
  // ...
];

Tweak percentages (or add / remove categories) and the UI updates auto-magically.

(master was yeeted for clarity.)

Analytics dashboards are pre-wired—no extra code needed:

import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/next';
import { SpeedInsights } from '@vercel/speed-insights/next';

<Analytics />
<SpeedInsights />

Make sure Speed Insights is enabled for the project in the Vercel dashboard so you actually see numbers roll in.

1. Fork / branch off dev
2. pnpm install
3. Make your change & keep it snappy
4. Push → open PR into dev
5. CI & Vercel Preview will handle the rest
