Building ElectGuide in Public (with Antigravity) 🗳️🚀
We’ve all faced this…
When elections come around, many people aren’t sure about the process — where to start, what steps to follow, or what timelines matter. It can feel confusing and overwhelming.
That’s where the idea of ElectGuide came from.
The Problem
Election information is often scattered, complex, or hard to understand.
People want to participate, but the lack of clarity becomes a barrier.
The Idea
I built ElectGuide, an interactive assistant that simplifies the election journey.
It helps users understand the process step-by-step — from eligibility to voting day — in a clear and easy way.
No confusion. Just clarity.
Tech Stack
React + Vite for a fast frontend
Clean UI with simple, accessible design
Docker for containerization
Google Cloud Run for serverless deployment
Antigravity to accelerate development
How I Built It
I focused on simplicity and usability.
The goal was to break down complex election information into small, easy-to-follow steps.
The assistant guides users interactively, making it feel less like reading instructions and more like a conversation.
Deployment
Dockerized the app and deployed it on Google Cloud Run for scalability and reliability.

Final Thought
