How we built this

This is a Web App running on NodeJS with handlebars for the UI Framework. We use MongoDB to facilitate database functions.

Accomplishments that we are proud of

This was our first time working with RESTful APIs so figuring out how everything works with MongoDB was quite a hassle. We are also proud that we built something that can truly benefit the general populace.

What is next for this project

We would like to add a section for Elected Representatives to answer the questions asked by our activists. A System for live debates(Video and Chat)
