1Vote

1Vote is a full-stack web app for creating and sharing live web polls. It features a lightning-fast front end with data visualizations, as well as an available full standalone API for leveraging the site as a back-end service.

I created 1Vote as part of the freeCodeCamp online self-study program.

Tech

Technologies used include:

• React & Redux
• MongoDB / Mongoose

Building

Make sure mongod is installed and running. In a separate console window:

(The final version will require ENV variables as well.)

Add a poll:
