Stack\n\n[![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Built_with-Java-red?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=Java)](https://www.java.com/)\n[![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Built_with-MySQL-orange?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=MySQL)](https://www.mysql.com/)\n[![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Built_with-Swing%20Framework-red?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=Java)](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/package-summary.html)\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nInstall and configure [MySQL 5.7 server](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.7.html) on your local machine. Also create an empty database named \"the_questioner_db\" \u0026 take a note of your MySQL username, password \u0026 database name.\n\nInstall [Netbeans 8.2](https://netbeans.org/downloads/old/8.2/) and JAVA SE 8.\nYou can download [JRE 1.8](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jre8-downloads.html) \u0026 [JDK 1.8](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html) here.\n\n## Development Setup\n\nDownload the code as zip file and save it in your preferred location.\nLaunch NetBeans and go to *File-\u003eImport Project-\u003eFrom ZIP* and choose the downloaded zip file.\n\nGo to the TheQuestioner project folder in NetBeans Project directory(usually in *C:\\user\\documents\\NetBeansProjects*) and open \u0026 edit the configuration file(see [below](#Configuration)).\n\nIn NetBeans, Clean and build project(Shift+F11), and then run the software(F6).\n\nIn the initial run, there will be a pop-up: \"Everything initialized successfully\", indicating that all the tables in the database have been created and a few sample values of questions, responses \u0026 upvotes are added, and the MySQL backend is ready to use. \n\nNote that this pop-up will only be displayed when the software is run the first time. \n\nFollow the on-screen instructions to Sign-up and then log in to use the software.\n\nThe user credentials, and other data like, questions, responses, upvotes, etc will be stored in the local MySQL database. \n\nNote: If you wish to re-initialize the MySQL back-end, delete all contents of the database \"the_questioner_db\", and go to \"TheQuestioner\" NetBeans project folder and edit \"db_initialised.properties\" file and set the \"db_initialised\" to false. And then re-start TheQuestioner Java software.\n\nAlso, you can check out the Screenshots folder to have a look at the User Interface of this software.\n\n## Configuration\n\nOpen conf.properties file and enter the MySQL credentials \u0026 database name.\nAlso enter the SMTP Server Credentials, if you wish to use Email OTP verification functionality of this software.\n\n## Screenshots\n![Preview](./Screenshots/SignUp_Part1.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/SignUp_Part2a.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/SignUp_Part2b.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/SignUp_Part3a.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/UI_0.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/UI_1.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/UI_2.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/UI_3.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/UI_4.png)\n![Preview](./Screenshots/UI_5.png)\n\n## License\nCode released under [MIT License.](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fausaf007%2Fthe-questioner","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fausaf007%2Fthe-questioner","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fausaf007%2Fthe-questioner/lists"}
