Post-it Vote

Inspiration

Current US voting system has an insecure system with data vulnerabilities which allow it to be manipulated and skew voting results.

What it does

This project is a blockchain based voting replacement system for the US. It will allow users to vote online safely without having to worry about data integrity or security.

How we built it

We built a VUE.js front end with a MongoDB and GCP backend. We also used blockstack for blockchain integration. We used Express.js to talk to the MongoDB server.

Challenges we ran into

This entire project was a challenge. We had never used VUE.js, GCP, or MongoDB before. So learning another couple of languages while coding was a challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are mostly proud of ourselves. Going through this 24 hour hackathon was grueling while trying to learn a completely new coding language. In the end, we got it done and were ready to present it!

What we learned

Ultimately we each learned a little bit more about the new languages we used. The backend, MongoDB and Atlas and GCP. The front end learned a lot more about VUE.js

What's next for Post-it Vote

After this hackathon we plan to keep this hack in development and later, put it into production in the US.

Created by

I worked on the frontend. it was my first time using Vue.js, so we ran into a lot of problems, but learned alot more about it.

I worked on the back end of this project. I dealt with the blockchain integration as well as setting up the hosting with gcp. I also helped set up and build the mongo db backend

Jonathan Mukes
I worked on the back-end of this project. I mainly dealt with creating the schema for our MongoDB database, setting up MongoDB Atlas, and creating the functionality to allow our app to interact with Atlas. I also assisted with the blockchain integration.

Joe Brown
I worked on the front end for this project using VUE.js. Since it was my first time using a JavaScript framework for front end, it was definitely a paradigm shift, but I learned a ton of valuable skills. I also used Material UI to create a constant look and feel throughout the entire site.
