Omnibus is an interactive data visualization app that will make understanding large and complex bills easy.
It's increasingly common for legislation to be bundled into large omnibus bills which makes untangling the content of these bills more difficult. We've used our backend to calculate concrete figures and generate dynamic visualizations to make these perceived trends more apparent.

Works with the Chrome livereload extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/livereload/jnihajbhpnppcggbcgedagnkighmdlei)
We've had to push our compiled assets to github because Azure couldn't run some of our gulp tasks because ruby wasn't available in the box. If you are hosting on another service, such as Heroku or AWS, uncomment the gulp tast lines in deploy.sh, remove public/ from the github repo and add public/ to the .gitignore
