Civix

Civix is a full-stack digital civic engagement platform designed to bridge the gap between citizens, volunteers, and local authorities. Developed as a collaborative team project under the Infosys Springboard internship program, the system features a robust, role-based user hierarchy with a responsive React frontend and a secure Express/MongoDB REST API.

🌟 Core Platform Features:

• Interactive Citizen Dashboard: A unified home page displaying live engagement stats, active complaints, petition status, and local polls.
• Role-Based Portals: Dedicated user dashboards customized for Citizens, Volunteers, and Administrators/Officials with strict JWT-based request authorization.
• Smart Geolocation & Mapping: Real-time location detection and interactive OpenStreetMap integration (via Leaflet) to select precise coordinates and addresses for signups and complaint submissions.
• Complaints Management: Citizens can report community issues with category tags and photos (featuring client-side image compression before uploading to Cloudinary). Admins can assign complaints to volunteers for on-the-ground review.
• Petitions Engine: Initiate and sign petitions with visual progress bars tracking signature goals, single-signature enforcement, official timelines, and status logs.
• Live Polls & Surveys: Vote in geographic-targeted polls with real-time charts displaying vote distributions.
• Visual Reports & Sentiment Analytics: Beautiful graphs tracking civic activity and NLP-based sentiment analysis of community feedback powered by the natural library.
