Show HN: MAGA or Not? Political alignment scores for people and companies (magaornot.ai)

7 points by rcar1046 ↗ HN
I wanted a way for people to support companies and people that align with their political beliefs. Additionally, I think it can serve as a valuable, source-linked public ledger of who said and did what over time, especially as incentives change and people try to rewrite their positions.

This is fully AI-coded, researched, and sourced.

Additionally, AI helped develop the scoring system. The evidence gathering is done by a number of different agents through OpenRouter that gather and classify source-backed claims. The point of that is not to pretend bias disappears, but to avoid me manually selecting the evidence myself. I intend for it to remain current and grow. The system is close to fully automated, though ongoing evidence collection at scale is still limited mostly by cost.

The name is an homage to the early days of Web 1.0 and Hot or Not, which was a main competitor of mine as the creator of FaceTheJury.com, but I think it works well here.

The backend and frontend are running on Cloudflare Workers with D1. It's coded in vanilla JavaScript.

*forgot to mention there is also a chrome extension that puts scores next to Twitter/X profiles and websites as you browse waiting for approval...
This is really cool. Do you mind sharing a bit about your process for coming up with the scoring system? Like, what was the process like when you were working with the AI to develop it?

Also, have you ever considered the ability to provide the site with, say, a name and some links to social media or a blog or any other websites associated with that person, and it provides a score on demand?
