my2cents is an application that aims to make employee engagement a vital metric in business strategy by making feedback more accurate, precise, and real-time.
The idea was born from the realization that corporations either don’t value employee engagement enough to measure it, or are using ineffective methods for today’s rapidly changing business climate.
my2cents is a mobile-optimized web application, built using the MEAN stack, and is currently deployed at http://my2cents-app.azurewebsites.net.
You may demo the application by visiting my2cents at the url above.
To run the application locally, see the Running my2cents locally section below.
my2cents allows you and your co-workers to anonymously broadcast your sentiments about the workplace in real-time. Employees can submit their opinion once per day with a simple touch and hold interface.
View the sentiment of the employees at your company. Track results over time and compare data to changes in HR policy to monitor how the choices you make affect the overall happiness of your employees.

Server side variables are set through the shell, and accessed using process.env.VAR_NAME
in node. An actual deployment may need these to be configured in a deployment script, the format of which is dependant on your hosting service.
If you are running the server from a local machine (http://localhost:8008
), this can be skipped.
You'll need to use grunt and a local instance of Mongo DB.
