For Scott and Lexi

Review tour

A short path through what landed. Each card is one screen. Nothing here is a vote. When a record is missing, the screen says so, or it is marked EXAMPLE.

Five next steps: finish the quiz, go deeper, your officials, a bill, and your group. If you ranked issues, Home names them.

What matters most

Signup asks you to tap up to five issues. The first one counts the most in the match. The same list is on Settings, and it is not posted.

Quiz

A short quiz you can leave. The match stays hidden until enough answers are in.

Open the quiz

Go deeper

Optional methods on one profile: a tradeoff, a 100-point split, a real bill, a short situation, and values.

Officials

A voting-record match when the votes are on file. Party is a label, not a score. A state legislator says “Voting record not yet connected.”

Open officials

Northville local offices

City council, the township board, the school board, the Wayne County commissioner for District 9, and the Oakland County commissioner whose page includes Northville. Each card says “No voting record on file” and “Local meeting votes not yet connected.”

Open officials

Ballot

EXAMPLE races when no official ballot file is connected. The order is one input, not a recommendation.

Open the ballot guide

A bill

A roll call on file, plus an optional private note that quotes only that text.

How it affects you

Life areas stay on the account. A card appears only when a published rule matches.

Groups

An invite, priorities, and a spread. Coming later: no money is collected.

Open groups

Office desk

A placeholder office check, district counts at 25 people, a town hall, and a reply box.

Open the office desk

Square

Polls and posts. Sample items are marked EXAMPLE. A sentence can be labeled sourced, unsourced, or an opinion. The label is on the words, not on a person.

Square labels and a rewrite

A long thread splits into agreement, facts in dispute, value differences, and open questions. One rewrite is optional. You can post your own words. Nothing is hidden.

Notices, nuances, notifications

Older notices, a tension explained without a judgment, and what you asked to be told.

Codebook approval

The federal vote list is still a draft. A neutral person needs to approve it before the draft line comes off a match.

How we compare votes

Logo variant

The live mark is the pinwheel. A ballot slot and a filled oval stay on the shelf until you pick one.

Hosting

No host is chosen yet. The app is a Node server with files on disk. Picking a host is still open.
