Loop-oll

###Intro

Have questions on which you'd like to poll others?

Want to provide feedback by voting?

Use feedback loops through Loop-oll!

###Voting Users must have an account to vote, can only vote on questions (created by other users - not on their own!) until the due date, and each user can only vote once(!) on any question - there are no loopholes with Loop-oll!

Setup

git clone https://github.com/tiy-durham-q3-rails/loopoll.git
cd loopoll
rake db:migrate
rails server

Do not attempt to log in via GitHub unless TWITTER_KEY and TWITTER_SECRET are set in your environment.

###Features

• Your dashboard includes:
  • The ability to create a yes/no question right there on the spot! Just type it in and click submit!
  • A link to create a multiple choice (2 - 5 choices only) question.
  • Summaries of:
    • Active questions you've created (incl. days left until the poll closes & results thus far),
    • Questions you've already answered, and
    • Active questions created by other users that you haven't yet answered (incl. days left until the poll closes). < NOTE: An active question is one whose due date has not passed.>
• Click on the text of any question from the dashboard to:
  • See a larger view of the results, or
  • Vote (if you haven't yet and the question is still active). < NOTE: After voting, the page will refresh with results up to and including your vote, and you won`t be able to return to the voting page again. Questions with two answers will display as a bar chart, else pie chart. (All questions must have two answers.)>

###Known bug(s):

• Display page for each question shows the top answer incorrectly. This was an extra feature we added, but one we'd like to see functioning.
• Need to create more tests and move some logic out of the views and into custom methods.
• Next Question button on question show should go to the next unanswered question vs the dashboard, like the All Questions button.

##Original Specs:

Option 3: Voting Booth

• Make an application that lets users create yes or no questions and send a link to people to vote on them.

• You don't need to add in emailing capabilities -- just give the user the link they need to send to friends.

• You'll need users to create the questions, and probably want users in order to vote -- otherwise, the same person could vote over and over. Maybe you could figure out a way to prevent that with the session.

• Each question has its own URL and if you've voted, you see the results. If you haven't, you can vote.

###Nice to have

• Show a pie chart when you show results -- maybe Chartkick would help? http://chartkick.com/
• Allow questions with multiple choice, not just yes or no
• Have a page for each user where they can see all their questions
• Put a time limit on questions. After the question's end date, no one can vote and everyone can see results.
• Let people add comments on questions they've answered (or have run out of time to vote)

###Things to learn

• Creating users
• Preventing multiple votes per user
• How would you store a question that could have multiple answers?
