Show HN: <spanish> predict the outcome of the argentinean presidential elections
prode.clickThis is a simple webapp I made so that anyone can create a simple party of friends/coworkers and each of them predicts what will happen on October 22nd on the presidential elections.
I'm mostly posting it on HN to get some feedback on the UI and reach the South American audience in here, though I understand that it not being in English is less than ideal As a general question, what is the tech stack? Any interesting technical detail to share? Are the guesses visibles for the creator of a game ("partida")? For everyone in the game? It's very strange the graph on the right with random values. I saw it and I wonder which crazy pool they were extracted from, or if it was an average of all the guess from the users and the site has a weird bias. After refreshing I got another set of weird numbers, so I realized it is random. It's nice to see the names of the candidates, after all the renaming I almost forget which party is which (specially in the provincial elections). Are you planning something similar for the province of Buenos Aires? <Edit>Are the games ("partidas") saved in cookies or if I forget the password the go away?</Edit> For context: We use the popular vote count with a two round system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-round_system The first two parties go to the second round (with some quirks about when to skip the second round). Now the 2dn and 3rd are close so nobody is sure what will happen. PSA: If you live in another country and have no idea, just pick something like 35±5, 25±5, 30±5, 5±5, 5±5. It's not super accurate, but at least it will not look stupid.
