Just want to recommend a nice review and “what we need in civic tech” from Cyd Harrell Sept. 2018 - [https://medium.com/@cydharrell/civic-tech-as-a-tween-4cd780b971bb](https://medium.com/@cydharrell/civic-tech-as-a-tween-4cd780b971bb) - I saw Christopher W gave it a clap; and there is a very good thread that follows. ---

Thanks for sharing. I added a few comments. I particularly like the timeline though would argue that that history – like the post itself – betrays a bit of the biases of the CfA crowd, reflecting more of the web design focus and omitting a lot of the work on analytics for example. ---
