A platform that connects politicians with their constituents. By enabling politicians to publicly share policy proposals and allowing citizens to vote on them directly, the platform fosters a more issues-based political landscape, reducing the necessity for rigid adherence to party lines.
- Citizen Profiles: Create and manage detailed citizen profiles, including political affiliation and geographic information.
- Geographic Targeting: Associate citizens with federal electoral districts, municipalities, provinces, and territories.
- Policy Proposals: Politicians can create and share detailed policy proposals with the public.
- Opinion Sharing: Citizens can share opinions and feedback on specific policies to foster discussion.
- Direct Voting: A transparent mechanism for citizens to vote directly on policy proposals, providing clear feedback to politicians.
- Policy Bookmarking: Citizens can bookmark policies they are interested in following.
- Political Party Management: Support for federal and provincial political parties, including their association with specific provinces.
- Politician Verification: A dedicated process for verifying politicians to ensure the platform's integrity.
- Roles and Permissions: Role-based access control (e.g., CITIZEN, POLITICIAN) to manage platform interactions.
- Reactive API: Built with Java, Spring Boot, and reactive technologies (Spring Data R2DBC) for high performance and scalability.
- Scalable Database: Optimized for SQL databases, tested on MySQL and AWS Aurora.
- Automated Migrations: Uses Flyway for consistent and reliable database schema management.
I've written the API using Java and Spring using reactive technologies. I've opted for a SQL database; locally it's tested on MySQL, while in the cloud I use AWS Aurora DB.
