  • About Project
  • The client was developing a platform for independent voters. The client came to JDH with the desire to create a method for independent voters to determine their location on the political spectrum. In response, JDH designed and coded a compatibility-based "Are You a Progressive?" application -- basically a political matching app. This full-stack site takes in results from users' surveys, then compare their answers with those from other users.
  • Tech Brief
  • The major challenge faced in this project was having to adhere to a specific set of technologies. In response, JDH delivered an application that runs in the browser, features dynamically updated HTML and CSS, is powered by JavaScript code, hosted by Heroku, and utilizes Express to handle routing.
