# Introducing Changemaker Lite v2
|
|
|
|
Changemaker Lite v2 is a ground-up rebuild of the platform — same mission, entirely new architecture. After 14 phases of development, the platform is ready for production use.
|

|
|
|
## What Changed
|
|
|
|
V1 was two independent Express apps stitched together with NocoDB as a data layer. It worked, but scaling features meant fighting the architecture at every turn.
|
|
|
|
V2 is a unified TypeScript stack:
|
|
|
|
- **Dual API architecture** — Express.js for the main platform, Fastify for the media library, sharing a single PostgreSQL 16 database via Prisma ORM
|
|
- **React admin GUI** — Vite + Ant Design + Zustand, serving admin, public, and volunteer interfaces from one build
|
|
- **30+ Docker services** — from core infrastructure to monitoring, communication, and developer tools
|
|
- **JWT authentication** with refresh token rotation, role-based access control (11 roles), and a comprehensive security audit
|
|
|
|
## What's New
|
|
|
|
The feature set has grown substantially:
|
|
|
|
- **Advocacy campaigns** with postal code → representative lookup, email sending, response walls, and moderation
|
|
- **Map & canvassing** with multi-provider geocoding, polygon territories, GPS-tracked volunteer sessions, and walking route generation
|
|
- **Media manager** with video upload, FFprobe metadata extraction, scheduled publishing, analytics, and a public gallery
|
|
- **Landing page builder** powered by GrapesJS with drag-and-drop editing
|
|
- **Payments** via encrypted Stripe integration — products, donations, and subscription plans
|
|
- **SMS campaigns** via a Termux Android bridge
|
|
- **Team communication** with self-hosted Rocket.Chat and Jitsi Meet
|
|
- **People CRM** aggregating contacts across all modules with duplicate detection and merge
|
|
- **Volunteer social features** — friend system, achievements, leaderboards, and a personal calendar
|
|
- **One-command install** — `curl | bash` pulls a release tarball and runs the config wizard
|
|
|
|
## Why Self-Hosted
|
|
|
|
Every subscription to corporate campaign software funds infrastructure you don't control. Your voter lists, canvassing outcomes, and communication patterns become assets on someone else's balance sheet.
|
|
|
|
Changemaker Lite costs roughly the price of a VPS — often under $50/month for the full stack. But the real value isn't cost savings. It's **control.** No vendor can cut off your access. No acquisition can change your terms.
