DC Coming soon

An app to answer the question "what's going to be coming near me soon?".

What it looks at

• ABRA Notices of Public Hearing
• Zoning Commission and Board of Zoning Adjustment Cases*

Requirements

1. JRuby
2. Poppler

Running locally

1. script/bootstrap
2. script/server

Huh? Why are you using JRuby?

Because Tabular Extractor requires it.

Huh? Why are you using pdftotext and not something like PDF Reader?

PDF Reader doesn't properly handle superscript text, which ABRA often uses in street names (the text bleeds into the line above it).
