Case Study: Polliebyte creates a political social networking platform with SynapseCo

Polliebyte connects constituents with SynapseCo’s Drupal 7 platform, reaching 50+ countries

Polliebyte, a team aiming to change how politics is done by creating direct connections between representatives and constituents, approached SynapseCo. Their challenge was to design and develop a social networking site where users could connect and share their political views, raising issues for their representatives to answer.

SynapseCo developed an elegant website using Drupal 7, incorporating modules for user interaction like flagging issues, adding comments, and voting. The solution integrated a Twilio SMS gateway for user verification, Facebook for login and sharing, and a user messaging system. The platform successfully created a hub for political discussion, directly connecting users with their chosen representatives based on postal code.
