Vot It

The company VotIt wants to offer a website for polls about the IT/dev.

• It would like that the users could sign up (email, password, pseudo) in order to create a poll (title, description) or vote on a poll.
• When a user creates a poll, he could add some proposals.
• A poll belongs to a category (front-end, back-end, devops, mobile, UI/UX).
• The result of the poll must be displayed by a progression bar
• The polls can be filtered (by category with a search)
