true. i made it so the buttons disable after one vote - at least someone can’t click away. but yah as you said you can just refresh or re-navigate to the page and vote again. i could implement something with local storage, but even that wouldn’t necessarily prevent multiple votes, i don’t think…just clear local storage and vote again right? i guess the average user wouldn’t know how to do that though, and short of making users authenticate i think you have the best idea for a deterrent. and thank you for taking the time to check out my app.

i thought about making it so users need to authenticate before voting - i’m still pretty new to this whole development thing - i wonder what the thinking is on that? Meaning is it effective and gets more people to sign up, or if it would deter people from participating?
