AMAM - Ask me anything meaningful

AMAM is an open source application and written entirely using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

At the end of the 19th century it was a popular game on social events to answer a questionnaire. They should help to learn about the interviewee and their character. The french author Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was one of the most famous people who answered it. This applications allows to get a randomized question from questionnaire, e.g. the Proust questionnaire, so you can discuss it with another person.

Try it on http://lsubel.github.io/amam.

The master branch is used for the basic application and is runnable by itself in the browser. The phonegap branch contains phonegap specific fields. The gh-pages branch is used for the static hosting of the application (link above).

There exist a repository with an enhanced version of the application used to build Android apks that can be downloaded via F-Droid.

amam's Issues

Split PhoneGap files and remaining application

Since the application be displayed in browser, the PhoneGap related files should be moved to a different branch.

Improve question quality in questionnaires "private", "for_kids" and "culture"

I'd like to see some existing questionnaires that can be incorporated.

Create better application icon

The icon itself should be svg.

Resetting the application does not reset select

When the UI is resetted, the elements (language, questionnaire) is not, so the rows appear for multiple times.

Improve usabilitiy with growing number of questionnaires

At some point in time the number of questionnaires might be too high to be usable. There should be some type of categorization or filtering functionality.

Change architecture to support different questionnaires

As discussed yesterday, it might me nice to switch between different themed questionnaires, e.g. nerd related questions.

Improve app icon

The icon needs some minor improvements. As you can see in FOSSDroid, the icon need some outer border or shadow to be distinguishable from the background.

Add an online translation service

An online translation service could be very handy. It would also give non programmers a way to contribute see also this discussion

Link to source doesn't open browser

On Android 5.1.1 link to source doesn't open a browser. it does on your website.

Button to reinitialize local storage

Add new questionnaires

Suggestions or finished lists are always welcomed!

Save last used language over multiple sessions

Currently english will be used as the initial language. However, using the last selected language is more usable.

Splashscreen

Check whether it is necessary to add a splashscreen image.

Add new translations

Suggested: Spanish, Portugese, French, Italian

Suggestion: add random or sequenced flag to questionnaires

For some questionnaires it could make a significant difference if you ask the questions sequenced or random (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questionnaire_construction). An option menue could be Irritating for the user so an option in the dataset should be enough

Make attribution author name clickable and link it to GitHub page

The GitHub name is already present in the data set. The app has to be enhanced s.t. the name enhanced with an link to the webpage.

Add "all" option to the list selection

Duplicate questions in Proust questionnaire ?

Hello,
In Proust questionnaire, questions 2 and 19, 4 and 20, 15 and 21, 9 and 25, 7 and 27 are similar or relatively similar. I looked up on the internet and these duplicate are not part of the Proust questionnaires I've found.
Is it done on purpose ?

Suggestion: add descriptions to questionnaires

A short and a long description of the questionnaires could be useful. It would enable to give a short introduction or overview. As simplest implementation this could show up right before the first question.

Add authorship of questionnaires

There should be the possibility to attribute authors for their submitted questionnaires. The attribution should be optional and could contain

• Nickname
• Link to Github profile

Closing the modal blows up the history

In case you click on the "close" icon in the modal, the application is transitioning to the root URL. That blows up the history object, as you can see when going back (e.g. on Android).

Rework UI

• There are some difference when using Webkit-based browsers
• Move all options to popup
• Move explanation text to front page
