Hackathon has ended.
SpeakerTools
Not close to finishing, but had a lot of fun! 🎉 Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
What it was supposed to be:
SpeakerTools was supposed to be a collection of a few tools for public speaking (timer, audience polls, etc).

What's working:
- creating / editing a "toolbox" for a presentation
- adding (& editing) audience poll questions to the presentation (be sure to ✓ check the "live polls" checkbox to access this feature)
- generating a separate link for audience
Hotwire features:
- Stimulus "sprinkles" like copy-to-clipboard, toggles, and a couple subtle scroll animations
- Turbo Frames to handle the modal for creating/editing a poll question and listing polls on presentation page
- Turbo Streams to broadcast poll changes to audience page [broken]
Just a heads up:
I didn't get to many of the Hotwire features I had planned 🤦♂️ (so it might not be too interesting), but you might be able to see where it was headed!
A few other warnings:
- the practice/start feature isn't set up, and there's a few other placeholder buttons on the audience page
- didn't start on the desktop layouts, mobile-only so far
- only tested on linux/android (might be a little wonky on different devices)
- lots of spaghetti lol
What went wrong?
This was my first hackathon experience - learned a lot of lessons, but had fun doing it!
What I'll try next time:
- get set on an idea before starting
- build out the core features -> then design -> then bonus features
- and maybe don't attempt while recovering from covid lol
