At Code.gov, we are constantly working to improve the website and how you interface with it. Here’s our most recent updates and changes on the Code.gov front end (v0.0.8). What we are looking to accomplish with these updates is to help others find projects faster, and improve ways of filtering projects to specific search parameters. Our changes are as follows:

Updated the data quality scoring on the back end and how these are displayed on the front end. The major change here is that most agency projects should now have the medium/orange corner tag if they are meeting the minimum required fields in the schema. A project would only have the red/low corner tag if the project data is not meeting the minimum requirements. See more info in the data quality documentation in the code-gov repo.

  • Added aria-label(s) to the corner tags for accessibility
  • Changed the scale we’re using for the corner tag component
