electify's Issues

Add description per page

For SEO, the site description is given by two tags generally

<meta property="description" content="A Description">
<meta property="og:description" content="A Description">

Right now, there's one common description at pages/_document.tsx, and that too only of og:description.

Remove that and add separate relevant description for each page, e.g. index.tsx, create.tsx, vote/index.tsx, vote/[id].tsx, etc.

Remove stale text from page

At https://electify.manish.codes/create, there's this stale text that needs to be removed.

Add link to homepage in the logo

Generally in any website, the logo in the header should redirect to the homepage. We want to add that to the site

Fix footer link to correct one

Right now, the link on the footer links to manishprivet.github.io which is a dead link.

Change it to https://manish.codes

/create returns 500

Upon creating an election with the following payload, the election doesn't get created

{
  "display_name": "new election",
  "election_name": "id",
  "no_of_voters": "3",
  "candidates": [
    {
      "name": "can 1"
    },
    {
      "name": "can 2"
    }
  ],
  "auth_type": "secret",
  "emails": "",
  "gsuite_domain": ""
}

Instead, I get a 500 error with the following response

A server error has occurred

FUNCTION_INVOCATION_FAILED

Upgrade to Next js 11

We need to upgrade the Next.js version to the latest one, which is 11.1.2

We already have #18 for this, but the build seems to be failing due to some issues.

Add title and meta tags for each page and layout

Right now, apart from the homepage, the <title> tag is nowhere present on the website.
Add them to each and every page... You can see an example of how it's done in pages/index.tsx

Also, apart from the title, many tags like description and such are common for each page, which are present in pages/_document.tsx... Move the <link rel='icon'... from index.tsx to there
