- Matt_Cutts 7y agoThat wasn't us, but I'm glad that it was a good experience for you! Lots of tech in government is getting better these days, and we'd love to have more folks helping up push the state of the art forward.
- non_identitatem 7y agoThe CFPB HMDA products were built by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's dev team. They've been working on government open source and open data platforms since (I think?) ~2012. (https://github.com/cfpb https://github.com/cfpb) While CFPB is definitely a separate thing from USDS, I'd imagine their end goals are the same: building things that help government better serve citizens. The more dedicated people that take up this mission in public service, the better!
