Very welcome and useful initiative. I deeply hate the fact that it's a next.js app (these apps simply should not be an option for the web unless HTML has somehow disappeared without a trace and humanity can't remember that it has ever existed) and not an HTML site with some JS where needed / useful. I suppose I understand the appeal and the convenience from a development point of view.

Open-sourcing the code is commendable and I'm happy to see this.

I recently came across https://banipartide.ro/ but I'm not entirely sure whether they made all their data machine-readable. I found this: https://db.banipartide.ro/banipartide/Venituri+anuale+din+ra...

Thanks that looks really nice.

I'll write them to ask if they're ok with me using their data.

I've previously found https://finantarepartide.ro/partidul-pro-romania-pro-romania... which should be the official romanian source. When attempting to integrate them I found some missing links tho and they never replied to my mail :D

Regarding next:

It was also a side project to start tinkering with next. I found it had a nice DX and allowed me to quickly build it. Now I think it might also be possible to just use something like Astro as I don't need many dynamic SSR features.

You're doing a very useful service to the community, which is absolutely praise-worthy; please don't listen too much to my moaning about next.js. As long as it does the job, you're gold.
