I am working on improving a system to inform citizens about the public benefits for which they are eligible [0]. It's hold by Barcelona City Council.

It analyzes the social situation of a person, or group of people that live together, and forecasts those benefits that they could access. It is an old base code that uses OpenFisca for the back, and React for the front. However, it's quite fun though. Currently I'm working on make it more stable as there are still some parts that could break the process.

I've tried to start simulation, but it didn't work.


Hey! It's the English version, something got broken. Your message made me learn about that. Thanks! Spanish and Catalan versions seem to be working properly.

On my next deploy that will be already fixed. Unfortunately, software done for the city council has very slow cycles due to several actors interacting. And the deploy will delayed specially now, on summer. Today I'll fix that, but probably you won't see changes until next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
