NextGenVoting 2.0

After building this project, I realised there are a few things I’d do differently if I were starting again. The first version was very focused on functionality, with less attention to design and user experience. For the next version, I plan to build a dedicated React frontend to give it a more modern, responsive interface, and rework the Django backend into a clean REST API that powers it.

  • React UI with live result streams
  • Django REST API endpoints for admin and voters
