Here’s a full sample use case blog post for the team logo voting system built using your shared-auth-collab-repo:





🎨 How Our Team Picked a Logo Using a Shared AI Voting App



In a world full of creative chaos and visual inspiration, choosing a team logo shouldn’t be a chore—it should be a collaborative experience. That’s exactly what we built with the shared-auth-collab system: a multi-user, API-driven, logo voting app tailored for creative teams.



🧠 The Problem: Too Many Logos, Too Many Opinions



We’d just launched our AI design studio and had three great logo options on the table. They were each generated using a different tool—RoboHash, DALL·E, and a hand-drawn SVG export from our dev. But how do you make a fair, quick decision?


Slack polls were clunky. Google Forms weren’t team-authenticated. So we built our own.





πŸ”§ The Build



We used the shared-auth-collab-repo as a base. It gave us:


  • ✅ A Node.js/Express backend with JWT-auth
  • ✅ A MongoDB schema for logo proposals and voting
  • ✅ A React frontend that let everyone submit and vote on logos
  • ✅ Realtime updates (with polling or WebSockets)






πŸ—³️ The Experience



Here’s how it worked:



Step 1: Submit a Logo



Team members entered a URL for their logo (hosted on RoboHash or Imgur). The backend stored the submission tied to their user ID and team.



Step 2: Vote



Each team member got to cast one vote per logo. Our backend enforced no double-voting, and vote counts updated in real-time on everyone’s screen.


Step 3: Pick a Winner



Once voting closed, the most-voted logo was clearly marked and exported to our design archive.





🧩 Under the Hood



Here’s a peek into the backend structure:

// Logo Model

{

  team_id: ObjectId,

  image_url: String,

  submitted_by: ObjectId,

  votes: [ObjectId],

  created_at: Date

}

RESTful endpoints:


  • POST /api/logo — Submit a logo
  • PUT /api/logo/:id/vote — Vote on a logo
  • GET /api/logo/team/:teamId — Fetch all logos






🀯 Why This Matters



This wasn’t just about picking a logo. It was about team agency.


Whether you’re building a brand, running a community contest, or setting up a hackathon—this is the kind of micro-tool that:


  • Encourages participation
  • Documents choices
  • Keeps things fair






πŸ“¬ Try It Yourself



You can deploy the repo from GitHub:

Start your server, launch the frontend, and let your team decide the next big visual move—together.




Want to add real-time updates, image upload support, or even a gamified logo battle royale mode? We’re working on it. πŸ§ͺ
