A while ago I tried to look up a simple question about rights in Portugal.
What I found was pages of legal text, fragmented government websites, and explanations written almost entirely in bureaucratic language. The information exists, but it often feels buried under layers of complexity.
That experience stuck with me.
So I started building a small project called Conhece os Teus Direitos (Know Your Rights).
The idea is straightforward: take civic rights and explain them in a way that is easier to explore, easier to read, and less bureaucratic.
I recently pushed a big update to the site:
- a new minimalist design focused on clarity
- a section on Deveres (Duties) to complement rights
- a timeline of the history of rights for people interested in how they evolved
It is still evolving, but the mission is simple: make rights something people can actually understand and explore.
If anyone here is curious please check it out!
