The Electing Women Toolkit for Women's P2P Network

Electing Women

UI for the electing women toolkit for Women's Peer 2 Peer network developed using vue.js

when its finished, this will be a web application that 1) enables women politicians running for office in developing countries to share the threats, violence, and intimidation they face on the campaign trail even if they don't have access to the internet (we are using the Twilio API for the backend) 2) connect with a community of other women politicians since research has shown women are less likely to drop out of politics if they have a strong support system 3) there will be a feature to get help for emergencies 4) safety will be prioritized in this app so we will have a strong focus on privacy 5) the app (currently) has a "testimony" page full of candidates stories. these are all hard-coded for now but will be linked to a database in the future!

This project uses vue.js & bootstrap. If you are new to either one of those two frameworks, here are some good guides to follow:

electingwomen's Issues

create a dashboard for the user

Create an interactive dashboard for the user that will be the homepage. This will have a personalized newsfeed with a map showing where users are posting from (I recommend using D3 for the data visualization). feel free to get creative!

create candidate toolkit

static page with training, cloud services, constituent messaging (front-end only, wireframe will be provided to developer upon request)

connect python backend to vue.js front end

python backend code available here: https://github.com/womensp2p/P2P-Project-Breakdown

add a login feature

it would be nice to have security and a database set up for user authentication. the login will restrict access to 1) posting in our forum 2) accessing restricted posts in the "testimony" tab

create a "forum"

allow authenticated users to communicate with each other. we may need to just build the front end for this if we don't have enough time for the demo
