343a55a673 feat: add styles for polling app UI
Responsive single-column layout (max 480px) with styles for:
- Option items with label/vote-button rows
- Voted state highlighting (green tint)
- Active/closed timer color states
- Disabled button opacity
- Full-width copy URL button

a76f00a08a feat: implement P2P polling app with Automerge sync
Core functionality using Automerge CRDT for real-time P2P sync:
- Creates or loads a shared document via URL hash
- Syncs over BroadcastChannel (local tabs) and WebSocket (wss://sync.automerge.org)
- Persists state to IndexedDB
- Add poll options with case-insensitive duplicate detection
- Toggle-vote per option, tracked per-document in localStorage
- Options sorted by vote count descending
- 2-minute countdown timer that disables voting on expiry
- Copy-to-clipboard for shareable URL

812098a6bb chore: initialize Vite project with Automerge dependencies
Set up project scaffold for a P2P polling app:
- package.json with @automerge/vanillajs, automerge-repo, vite deps
- vite.config.js with wasm and top-level-await plugins required by Automerge
- pnpm-lock.yaml lockfile
- .gitignore excluding node_modules

# P2P Poll App # P2P Poll App
A peer-to-peer polling app built with [Automerge](https://automerge.org/) and Vanilla JS. No backend required — polls sync in real time across browsers using CRDTs and a WebSocket relay.
## Features
- **Add options** — type an option and press Enter or click "Add Option". Duplicate options (case-insensitive) are rejected with an inline error message.
- **Vote on options** — click the vote button next to any option. You can vote on multiple options, but only once per option.
- **Toggle votes** — click your vote again to remove it (the button turns green with a checkmark when you've voted).
- **Live vote counts** — options are sorted by vote count in descending order and update in real time as votes come in from other users.
- **2-minute countdown timer** — click "Start 2-min Vote" to begin a shared countdown. Voting is open before and during the countdown. Once the timer expires, all vote buttons are disabled.
- **Shared timer** — the deadline is stored in the Automerge document, so all peers see the same countdown and voting closes simultaneously for everyone.
- **Copy URL** — click "Copy URL" to copy the poll link to your clipboard. Share it with others to join the same poll.
- **P2P sync** — all state (options, votes, timer) syncs across browsers in real time with no central server handling your data.
## How it works
### Tech stack
- **[Automerge](https://automerge.org/)** via `@automerge/vanillajs` — a CRDT library that lets multiple clients concurrently edit shared documents and merge changes without conflicts.
- **BroadcastChannelNetworkAdapter** — syncs between tabs in the same browser instantly via the browser's BroadcastChannel API.
- **WebSocketClientAdapter** — syncs across different browsers/devices via a WebSocket relay (`wss://sync.automerge.org`). The relay only forwards CRDT messages; it does not store or interpret your data.
- **IndexedDBStorageAdapter** — persists the document locally so it survives page refreshes.
- **Vite** — bundles the app with WebAssembly support (required by Automerge).
### Data model
The poll is a single Automerge document with three fields:
```js
{
options: string[], // list of poll options in insertion order
votes: { [option]: number }, // vote count per option
deadline: number | null // Unix timestamp (ms) when voting closes, or null
}
```
### URL-based sharing
Each document gets a unique Automerge URL (e.g. `automerge:abc123...`) stored in the page's URL hash. Opening the same URL in any browser loads and syncs the same document. Creating a new poll generates a new document and updates the hash automatically.
### Voting rules
- Voted options are tracked in `localStorage` (keyed by document URL), so they persist across page refreshes but are isolated per browser.
- One vote per option per user. Votes can be toggled off and back on until the timer expires.
- The timer (`doc.deadline`) is set once by whoever clicks "Start 2-min Vote" and is shared via the Automerge document, so all peers use the same deadline.
## Running locally
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```
Open the printed localhost URL. To test cross-browser sync, copy the URL (including the `#automerge:...` hash) and open it in a different browser.
