Show HN: Pardonned.com – A searchable database of US Pardons

Pardonned.com is a new searchable database for US pardons, built with Astro 6 and Playwright to improve transparency and accessibility of Department of Justice records.

https://pardonned.com Inspired by the videos of Liz Oyer, I wanted to be able to verify her claims and just look up all the pardons more easily.

Tech Stack: Playwright - to scrape the DOJ website SQLite - local database Astro 6 - Build out a static website from the sqlite db

All code is open source and available on Github.

For any nonviolent offenses against the United States which they may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1 2014 through the date of this pardon (JAN 19, 2025).

That’s 11+ years with no detail or description.
