DIE LINKE.App

DIE LINKE.App Over the last year, we have worked together with Die LINKE in the conception and implementation of their current election campaign app (Wahlkampf-App). Aim of the project Die LINKE needed an application to coordinate the planing and realisation of their election campaign activities such as door to door campaigning, distribution of flyers, hanging up of posters, etc. A diverse set of users had to be considered: There were state association coordinators responsible for the planing of events; locally active users who helped during single events; and people potentially interested in activities organised by Die Linke in their neighbourhoods in the near future. Later, functionality was added to support future campaign planning. Technology used Due to the tight schedule and the diversity of users, use cases, and devices, we decided to implement the project as a progressive web app (PWA). Again, we relied on our standard tech stack and implemented a Django based backend and a Vuejs frontend. For the PWA wrapping, we relied on the Quasar framework. Since the Wahlkapmf-App is map-centric, we used mapbox here. For the charts in the evaluation section, we chose the open source vue library Apexcharts, because it offers many useful functionalities like zooming, interactive legends, or data export in different formats. Process As already mentioned, our basic project management relied on an iterative scrum process for verifying the alignment between design assumptions and actual user needs. Another key feature of the process was the implementation of extensive integration tests in the backend of the Wahlkampf-App. License The Wahlkampf-App is licensed under a free license, the source code can be viewed on gitlab.
