I'm curious what platform you are referring to here?

Decide Madrid, for the Madrid City Hall:

https://decide.madrid.es/

It was built on Ruby on Rails. There’s an Open Source white label platform generator project called Consul. I came up with that name (it comes from “consulta ciudadana”, not from an ancient Roman politician).

https://consulproject.org/

My last involvement with the project was 6 years ago. My understanding is that the site took a downward dive with regards to code quality after me and other founding members left the project, and with the change in government.
