OP here. Thank you for the incredible response — I did not expect this.
Many of you asked if the code is shared. It is now: https://github.com/legalize-dev
The pipeline is multi-country by design. France already works as a second country (Légifrance data). Adding a new country means implementing 4 Python interfaces for your national gazette. The rest (markdown, git, web, API) is generic.
I wrote a guide for contributors who want to add their country: https://github.com/legalize-dev/legalize-pipeline/blob/main/...
From this thread alone, people asked about Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, and Brazil. If you know your country's open data source for legislation, a PR is the best way to help.
I'll be honest — I don't know how much time I'll be able to dedicate to this, but I'd love to build something big. Legislation is massive and scaling to more countries takes real infrastructure. I'm setting up an Open Collective to fund hosting and development: https://opencollective.com/legalize
Live site with browsable laws + diffs: https://legalize.dev
Everything is still very precarious, time to time.
Thank you
