As an unauthenticated or authenticated user, I can see the results of polls in chart form.
As an authenticated user, if I don’t like the options on a poll, I can create a new option.

How to build and run

First of all install all deps:

yarn install

This will also build client side of the application.

Server part of the app requires some env variables. For development build they can be placed in server/.env and then provided to the server side of the app with yarn env like this:

yarn env node dist/

The following command can help to get some idea about what these variables are and how to name them:

git grep -A3 -B3 process.env

Once the environment is set up the easiest way to start is to run tmux script from the client dir:

cd client && bash start_tmux_session.sh

but this requires system-wide tmux installation.

To start without tmux:

in case of dev env simply run yarn start in both client and server dirs
in case of prod env build client side with yarn build and run server side with
```
NODE_ENV='production' yarn env yarn start
```
