Anonymous Feedback DApp

Overview

The Anonymous Feedback DApp is a decentralized application built on the Secret Network that allows students and faculty to provide anonymous feedback on various campus services and facilities. This DApp ensures privacy and encourages honest, constructive criticism to improve campus life.

Features

• Anonymous Feedback Submission: Submit encrypted and anonymous feedback, ensuring user privacy.
• Category-based Feedback: Provide feedback on categories like dining services, library facilities, classrooms, administrative services, and more.
• Admin Dashboard: Campus administrators can view anonymized feedback and respond to concerns or suggestions.
• Voting Mechanism: Users can upvote feedback they agree with to help prioritize issues.
• Secure Data Handling: All feedback and responses are securely stored and accessible only to authorized personnel.

Technologies Used

• Secret Network: For building private smart contracts and ensuring data privacy.
• CosmWasm: For writing smart contracts.
• SecretJS: For interacting with the Secret Network from the frontend.
• React.js: For building the frontend interface.
• Node.js: For backend server operations.
