Vocdoni is the first universally verifiable, censorship-resistant, anonymous, and self-sovereign governance protocol.
Our main aim is a trustless voting system where anyone can speak their voice and where everything is auditable.
We are engineering building blocks for a permissionless, private and censorship resistant democracy.

Getting Started

Environment variables

You can create a .env.local file to set your custom environment variables there, here's a list of variables you can use:

• VOCDONI_ENVIRONMENT: the vocdoni environment to be used, either dev, stg or prod (defaults to stg).
• BASE_URL is used to specify the public base page during build.
• BUILD_PATH Specifies the destination of built files.
• CUSTOM_ORGANIZATION_DOMAINS A JSON.stringified object of custom domains mapped to organization ids, to replace the homepage with their profile page.

You can also start the app by prefixing these vars instead of defining your custom .env file:

VOCDONI_ENVIRONMENT=dev yarn start
# or an example using many of them...
BUILD_PATH=build/dev BASE_URL=/ui-scaffold/dev VOCDONI_ENVIRONMENT=dev yarn build

Custom domain names

The custom domain names environment variable allows to map custom domains to organization ids, so that the homepage rendered will be the mapped organization profile.

CUSTOM_ORGANIZATION_DOMAINS='{"deadcorp.com":"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead"}' yarn build

With the example above, accessing the app via the deadcorp.com domain would render the profile of the organization with id 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead as the homepage of the app.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:5173 to view it in the browser (note the port may change if already used).

yarn build

Builds the app for production to the dist folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

yarn translations

Extracts all i18n strings from the code and puts them in the i18n/locales json files. The best way to work with translations is:

Branching and deploys

Three branches are linked to deploys:

• develop, deployed to app-dev.vocdoni.io and dev.onvote.app, and linked to api-dev.
• stage, deployed to app-stg.vocdoni.io and stg.onvote.app, and linked to api-stg.
• main, deployed to app.vocdoni.io and onvote.app, and linked to LTS api (formerly prod).

Also, all pushes to develop are deployed three times to netlify (one for vocdoni app dev, another for stage and also one for onvote stg). You can easily access these deploys on each commit to develop, or directly in pull requests.

The common flow to follow when deploying to main is passing through all the other stages:

branch from develop => merge to develop => merge to stage => merge to main

The only exception should be when fixing specific versions to a deployment, in such case, a hotfix should be created from the desired branch to be updated:

branch from stage (i.e. h/sdk-0.4.1) => PR to stage
branch from main (i.e. h/sdk-0.5.0) => PR to main

Preview

The site is deployed using legacy branch at https://app.vocdoni.io/ and https://onvote.app/.

Contributing

While we welcome contributions from the community, we do not track all of our issues on Github and we may not have the resources to onboard developers and review complex pull requests. That being said, there are multiple ways you can get involved with the project.
