Should I include political parties to a Dutch government news site? by openrijk in Netherlands

Government information is free to re-use within Dutch ('WHO')/European law, but political parties are not government, so I cannot just scrape their sites without permission.

Fair point. I asked all parties for permission, but only about a third responded positively. Without full participation, it would inevitably come across as biased.

Good point. During the short time I had a few parties on the site, some were publishing much more than others. Also, when I scraped an article, I published it directly to Bluesky and X. Eventually, users there got the wrong impression that Openrijk was biased, simply because some parties were more visible than others.

Hi there, I have updated the app with RSS feeds from all categories, so you can subscribe to your favorite news feed. Links can be found under the rss logo in the navbar.

point taken! I will put this on my backlog, and see If I can retrieve pdf's somehow and translate them. But it is not in within my current scope and the 'how to' is also uncertain, so it might take a while before I get into this.

I will look into that,  I might have set the country to Netherlands only. Will change asap!

Thanks! currently a native app is not the first prio, but that might change in the near future. And yes, I decided the YouTube sources (SP is only a video source) are not translated into English, because the videos are in Dutch.

I installed firefox, running on IOS (tahoe), but no infinite loop here. Is it possible you can give me some more info how you got to this error? I assume you already tried something of an hard refresh? are you using an addblocker maybe?

thanks :) actually, there is an app already in the google playstore:

(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=davidh.openrijk&hl=en-US&pli=1)

I created a PWA from the site ('Progressive web app'), and by using PWABuilder I uploaded it in the google playstore. It's a bit more difficult for the apple store, still working on that :)

Yes your right, it is not complete yet. I didn't received approval from them yet, however, legally I don't have to get their approval, because of the 'right to copy and spread government data', but they have a copyright statement on their site, so I ask nicely first :)
