Introduction

Co-up is an application that helps communities manage stakeholder voting and funding. Homeowner associations, condo boards, and community co-ops can use this tool to help facilitate decision making and encourage shared fundraising.

(NOTE: This project is currently in alpha, under heavy development. Security and privacy are not robust.)

Instructions

View the demo application here: https://master.d37f8su7ed1a90.amplifyapp.com/

• Log in using a social provider (email login is a bit buggy)
• Visit the "Topics" page, then create a new topic on which you'd like community feedback. Set an appropriate reward to encourage member partipation (to be received when the topic closes).
• Add proposals to the topic including the proposal rationale
• Use your "Tickets" to vote on the proposals you care about

Goal: The goal of the project is enable non-technical people to reap the benefits of Quadratic voting and Quadratic finance without them needing to learn those concepts first. The application is designed to flexibly meet different use cases, while nudging both facilitators and community members to participate.

Features and roadmap

• Simple login with oAuth + AWS Amplify. Users start with an initial monthly amount of ticket credits.
• Create and view any number of topics. Each topic may have any number of proposals from members. Each topic can have an arbitrary reward tickets that are rewarded to members who engaged before the topic was closed.
• Prefill the topic description based on topic "type" templates (work in progress).
• Quadratic voting on proposals with a fun ballot-stuffing micro-interaction that balances intuitiveness and ease-of-use with flexibililty.
• Fundraising with quadratic funding (work in progress)
• Dark mode: advocacy themed (planned)
• Amenity booking auction (planned)

Tech stack

• React (via Create React App)

• AWS Amplify (with Datastore for realtime/offline sync)
• Framer Motion
