[–] onassar 5y ago ↗ Hi all -Pigeon is a Chrome extension I built that allows you to get the contact info about your elected officials right from within Gmail.I wanted a quick-and-easy way to click a button, see my official, and then click to open a new compose window.I use two different APIs (one for American, one for Canadian) to access elected official data, based on your location.Happy to answer any questions :) [–] verdverm 5y ago ↗ Could you make a static page with the list and a bunch of mailto: ... links? Maybe their website link as well? [–] onassar 5y ago ↗ Yep very possible. Decided to make it an extension for now tho [–] rory_isAdonk 5y ago ↗ This is amazing, are you open to extending it to Ireland? Happy to put in a PR for this. [–] onassar 5y ago ↗ Hey! Very possible; would need an API source for that data though :(
