Re:Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? on Thursday May 14, 2020 @08:35AM (#23178669)
I built two projects since the lock-down started.

1. https://collabqa.com

A collaborative space to share/vote ideas and questions, in real-time. This was built using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView.

2. https://memoboard.io

This is a slack app that makes sure nobody would miss your memo/task. I'm currently waiting for Slack's app review, but it's ready for use. This is my first SaaS project too. It's built using Rails 6 and Sidekiq.

Thank you!

Each session is private and can be accessed only through its unique URL which contains a non-guessable random string. Would you still be interested in locking with a password? Can you please describe a use-case?

Ershad from CollabQA.com - I built a small web app to capture and prioritize questions during meetings/talks. Attendees have the option to vote questions. All data are sync-ed (in almost real-time) across active sessions.

A lot of people are switching to online meetings during these unprecedented days. I thought it would be useful to have a tool like this so that the speaker can speak uninterrupted and can answer/discuss all questions after finishing the talk.

It can also be used as a simple (and sharable) to-do app, a poll app or even as a shopping list.

It's built using Elixir and Phoenix.LiveView. Thanks to them for creating a wonderful tech stack to build real-time applications.

Great stuff! Will be awesome if it can show a combination of multiple destinations too.

True. I got carried away with that one line magic :)

True. But it looks beautiful.
