screenshots for democracy page

[brenzi]

For documentation, we'd like to mock an example democracy page. It should look somewhat similar to this populated scenario (bot-communities)

and one with old proposals

I'd like to be able to edit/mock all proposal data. but we can start with the ones in above screenshots

I have been looking into this a little bit. The democracy stuff is quite involved, it is more effort than expected to mock all this. Especially, as one has to consider quite many things when creating the mock data, and there is quite some networking involved.

Furthermore (something I have forgotten), our integration tests don't use any mocked data anymore. So I would have to instantiate a new integration test suite to reintroduce the mocks.

Hence, I think I want to try another route, however, it will not be the ultra low-hanging fruit we envisioned initially:

I believe the quickest way would be to actually create the proposals in the bootstrap script as an extra step, which is only executed with extra flag --populate-proposals. The additional advantage here would be that we can actually interact with the proposals in the integration tests and test the app at the same time.

Pro

• Our encointer-cli already knows how to do that, hence the quickest way
• We can actually test the app, and we can stay true to our integration testing paradigm
• ??

Con

• Creating a reasonably sized electorate will take some time
• ??

We have that already: bot-communities already populafes proposals and votes randomly. Electorate can be grown to thousanda within reasonable time

But that's not what I need now. I think I'll simply hardcode values on a branch and screenshot manually
