Meeting Mood

Consensus hand signals for online meetings

Installation:

This application needs to be run somewhere with a public IP so that people can connect to it. There is a development version running but it may break at any point.

The easiest way of doing this is to deploy this repository as a Dokku app. We presume that you can also push it as a Heroku app, but that is untested.

There are a number of other ways you can get hold the binary to run:

• Download the appropriate binary from the latest release
• Run brew install geeksforsocialchange/meeting-mood/meeting-mood to install via Homebrew
• Clone this repo and run go build

If you are running the binary outside of Dokku/Heroku then it will listen on port 8844 by default.

Configuration Options

You can optionally:

• Specify the environment variable PORT=8080 or pass the flag --port 8080 to override the port number
• Put a footer.html in your current directory, and the contents will be displayed as a footer.

Usage

1. Open a web browser to the web server and you'll see a button to create a room. This will create a room and put you in it.
2. Share the address in the address bar with other members of the meeting.
3. Set your username (this will be saved in a cookie)
4. Press buttons to make hand signals
5. Press x to stop making a hand signal

Known Issues

• HTTPS through Ngrok doesn't work
• There is no authentication or authorisation
• Hardcoded set of moods (for consensus decision making)
• No sorting of moods
• Not very mobile friendly
• Probably not very performant in places
