# auqlue

A conference talk, a company meeting, you present, people listening. Someone is brave enough to interrupt and ask a question, somebody is too shy, someone has a flaky remote Skype/Hangout/phone connection.

But questions are _very_ important: for people who listen in, for a speaker, as well as for the whole event, whether it is a small meeting of 5 people, or a conference talk with thousands local and remote participants.

There are just too many questions that stay "unasked" and more importantly _unanswered_ due to all the above: auqlue is here to change that!

## What is Auqlue?

Auqlue "takes its roots" from the "**A**nswer to the **U**ltimate **Q**uestion of **L**ife, the **U**niverse, and **E**verything". It allows a presenter/speaker, with "a single click", to create a little question universe (later "auqlue") dedicated to a specific meeting or talk.

This particular "auqlue" can be shared by the speaker with all the participants, and will enable people to just type their questions in, and vote for questions from other people.

A speaker can choose when to answer these questions: it can be during a talk, at the end of a talk, after a talk, etc..

## Show me what you mean..

Sure, here is what Auqlue looks like:

![alt "auqlue home"](https://raw.github.com/tolitius/auqlue/master/mockup/auqlue.home.png?raw=true)

Once you enter a presentation name (optionally a speaker's name and an event), click "Create Auqlue", and a whole new "auqlue" will be created for this talk. 

Let's pretend you entered "Simple Made Easy", "Rich Hickey" and "Strange Loop" accordingly:



  



This (link) can be shared with anyone who'd like to participate. Now click on it and enable people to really get curious:

![alt "auqlue qa"](https://raw.github.com/tolitius/auqlue/master/mockup/auqlue.qa.png?raw=true)

## Running

```

lein ring server

```

## TODO

This is an alpha (a working alpha) version, which has its own simplistic (atom based) in-memory database. Future versions would of course be based on the real data store, at least so it would survive restarts :)

But as it stands now, it was successfully used at several different meetings, meetups. It is fun and helpful.
