Safe.Voting
Know your state’s voting options & stay safe during Covid-19
Today we're launching the site!
One week after having the idea, we're sharing it with friends and family to begin getting feedback. We'll make tweaks as needed from that feedback and then we'll start promoting the site in a larger capacity.
Given the timeliness of the site with the upcoming U.S. Elections, we want to get this resource in the hands of as many people as we can to encourage more people to vote during Covid-19.
The day after sharing the idea, we had the first version of the site live. @groteworld had powered through the night to figure out a good tech stack to build this in and had a prototype of the app ready to share.
Blake's quick turnaround and the first prototype was a big jolt of energy for both of us to keep pushing forward on the app.

On September 1st, after seeing a friend post on Facebook about Indiana's Early Voting options I had the idea that it would be awesome to have a source to easily figure out your state's voting options for absentee and early voting.
Slack message:
"Microsite idea: Safe.voting - Vote safely in the age of covid 19.
Select your state and see instructions on Absentee Voting and Early voting options in your location."
