Hey thanks for trying it. We've tested it with many different people and machines with bluetooth accessories, and never ran into that issue. I personally use pair of magic mouse/keyboard on both of my Macs. Can you please try replacing the batteries in your mouse and try again. On a technical level this should never happen since your smartphone and your human interface devices utilize Bluetooth on your Mac through different profiles.

Thank you for your well written feedback. You clearly captured our initial motivations for starting congressbuddies with the line "...patterns that are just waiting to have some light shed." Exploring "dimensions" while making it accessible and informative from a UI and data crunching standpoint is clearly our next step. Furthermore even though we are open source, we want to make it transparent from an enduser's perspective regarding how this data is being computed all the way from the raw json to how a scale like the one you've mentioned is established. Our ultimate goal throughout this process is to raise awareness about our representatives and make it informative through a highly visual and graphic manner.

Thanks for the comment. I agree it's a good starting point but theres a lot that can be done. One plan we wanted to implement was a filter to match congressman based on different topics they voted on. Ex funding, etc. For aggregate patterns we would have to look at prior voting records as well, but it seems like a great idea. All our code is on github, and we'll slowly list all the features we want to add on the wiki there.

Thanks for the feedback. We plan to add a relative index to represent how closely a congressperson votes with respect to one another. The main idea of the map is to show geographic voting trends among congress members. In the future we want to expand on the recent bills idea you gave and provide an in-depth analysis of the different bills people voted on.
