pointer

Displays US election meters similar (pure coincidence i assure you) to others you may have seen. But I'm not a rapper frontend developer.

Compile with

./mvnw clean package

Run with

java -jar target/pointer-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar (uses Java 8 or later)

Update meters

Confuse and infuriate any friends you may have by POSTing new values to the /update endpoint:

curl -X POST "localhost:8080/update?chance=10&margin=-11&votes=-290&isForecast=false"

chance param is from 0 to 100 and is the chance of trumo winning. 0 is a Biden certainty, 100 is a certain win for the other guy.

margin param is from -12 (12 pt swing to D) to +12 (12 pt swing to R)

votes is from 270 to 540 (if you mean Trump) or in the range -540 to -270 (if you mean Biden)

isForecast is true or false, not required and will default to true if not present

Connected meters will be updated via the magic of websockets.
