Show HN: AI-powered tracker of Trump executive orders

I built a tracker that automatically scrapes the White House website for new executive orders and uses GPT-4 to generate plain-English summaries.

The system runs daily, finds new orders, feeds the full legal text to ChatGPT for summarization and auto-categorization, then generates individual pages and updates the main index. It even creates custom Open Graph images for social sharing.

Currently tracking 158+ orders with automatic updates as new ones are signed.

Features: - AI summaries of all executive orders in plain English - Auto-categorization by policy area (immigration, trade, AI, etc.) - Search by keyword, date, or category - Completely neutral - Individual pages for each order with full text - Auto-generated OG images

I got tired of reading dense legal text to understand what's actually being signed. The AI does the heavy lifting of parsing government language into readable summaries.
