We are going to have a new homepage design as shown in #733.
This ticket is all about the implementation of these designs:
The web application will interact with our API to complete all the requests. All requests should be sent to the server via /api/v1/poll/** for example, while developing, it would be localhost:3000/api/v1/poll/** but the same code in production would call dataskeptic.com/api/v1/poll/**.
This /api should just proxy the requests to the actual API which is on a different server. For this Issue, you will not work on the API. Consider the API to be a 3rd party service which you will consume. If you find any bugs or problems with the API, communicate them to Kyle.
Let me explain the use of -1. When you provide poll_id=-1, it will give you the latest poll, which is what you want to display. This way, you don't have to know what the poll_id is. If the user is not logged in, send user_id=-1. If the user is logged in, this will be used to provide their previous vote (if they have one).
