Did you know we maintain a site changelog? That’s where we publicly track updates and improvements to the Civic Tech Field Guide. Here’s the work we did to the site in September:

• Redesigned pillar table of content pages e.g. Civic data
• Broke the 30 individual civic maps and 39 mapping tools and platforms out into two distinct subcategories.
• On mobile, moved the Listing sidebar blocks containing the map, project URL, and social links to the top of the Listing entry, instead of the bottom
• Improved pin clustering on the maps to reduce visual clutter
• Fixed homepage map pin clustering on mobile
• Improved map and header sizing on country pages
• Improved search layout on subpages
• Fixed category descriptions overlapping with ‘view map’ link
• Fixed homepage “Add to guide” button breaking out of design on mobile
• Updated favicon and social avatars to compass
• Created a cleaner page template without the top banner – e.g. https://civictech.guide/civic-data/
• Fixed broken search functionality on sub-pages on mobile, and improved its design layout
• Granted stronger edit permissions to users who have claimed their project pages
• Added more specific subcategories for the AI section so we can follow specific technologies
