X-Politica 🚀

A Comprehensive Full-Stack MERN Application

Welcome to X-Politica! This project is a showcase of my expertise in designing and implementing complex systems using the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack. The application features secure authentication and authorization mechanisms and a user-friendly interface to manage and track claims and approvals.

Why X-Politica? 🌐

X-Politica was developed to address the need for a streamlined and secure platform for managing political claims and approvals. The application provides a robust solution for leaders and citizens to interact, ensuring transparency and accountability in the decision-making process.

Key Features:

• Secure Authentication & Authorization: Implemented using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and bCrypt for password hashing, ensuring that user data is protected.
• Responsive Design: The application is built with a responsive design, making it accessible on various devices.
• User Management: Allows users to sign up, log in, and manage their claims effectively.
• Real-Time Updates: Users can view the status of their claims in real time, with notifications for any updates.

Use Case Format 📋

• As a User, I can create an account as a Leader so that I can showcase myself in my area.

• As a User, I can log in so that I can make CRUD operations on my own account details.

• As a User, I can create an account as a Citizen so that I can see the claims of Leaders from my area.

• As a Leader, I can upload a claim from any area so that citizens from that area can validate it, and that claim will be shown on my portfolio.

• As a Leader, I can view stats and graphs so that I can understand my statistics and make informed decisions.

• As a Citizen, I can validate claims so that the leader receives appreciation, and it can be shown on their portfolio.
