Every profile carries the MEP's plenary speeches, written questions and rapporteur roles. On a file page, nodo also lists who spoke in committee when it was discussed.
Commission
The College of 27. Each Commissioner unfolds into the cabinet, heads first, with each adviser's responsibilities. Reshuffles are checked by a person before they go live.
Council
The Presidency clock, the 27 on a map, the Perm Reps and a QMV calculator. The Council publishes only Ambassador and Deputy names, so you add the attachés you know, and they sync to your account.
Every name shows where it comes from.
Official sources, refreshed on a schedule. Coverage is partial and nodo says so on screen.

About nodo
nodo is an independent app built in Brussels. It is not run by or for an EU institution, a political party, a company or a client, and no one pays to appear in it.
It started from a simple need: knowing who is on a file, in all three institutions, without opening ten tabs. Every name comes from an official source and shows it.
nodo is built by Gianmaria Sisti, a policy communications professional in Brussels.
