Pardonned.com is a new searchable database of US presidential pardons created by scraping DOJ data. The project was inspired by content from Liz Oyer and aims to make pardon information more accessible. It uses Playwright for scraping, SQLite for storage, and Astro 6 to generate a static website.
Background
Government transparency projects have become increasingly popular, with developers creating tools to make public data more accessible and searchable. The US pardon system has historically been difficult to research comprehensively.
