Show HN: Interactive California Budget (by Claude Code)

26 pointsby sberensyesterday at 5:13 PM1 commentview on HN

There's been a lot of discussion around the california budget and some proposed tax policies, so I asked claude code to research the budget and turn it into an interactive dashboard.

Using async subagents claude was able to research ~a dozen budget line items at once across multiple years, adding lots of helpful context and graphs to someone like me who was starting with little familiarity.

It still struggles with frontend changes, but for research this probably 20-40x's my throughput.

Let me know any additional data or visualizations that would be interesting to add!

Give Anthropic’s frontend design skill a try. I find it helps Claude produce excellent UI’s.
