Questioner

Introduction

Many online games and competitions like various CTFs or events like Enigma have something in common and that is a simple Question and Answer model that the main backend service is made to handle. Questioner is this common Question and Answer backend service that can be easily used to host such an online event. This would help the team focus more on structuring questions, investing more time in frontend and other aspects of the event.
