🧊🥊 Break the Ice

Break the Ice brings together a collection of questions that help visitors learn more about each other and themselves. Inspired by the questions of the day that we answer as a cohort (thanks Zakariah!), our app allows users to track life’s most interesting, random, and fun details.

Technologies Used

Node.js, Mongoose, MongoDB, Bootstrap, Heroku, GitHub, Lucidchart, EJS, Javascript, and CSS.

Getting Started

Link to the app: Break the Ice

Link to the planning board: Trello

Break the Ice opens with an index page showing all the icebreaker-style questions that users have submitted, ordered by topic and the number of responses. Each icebreaker includes a link to a detail page where users can view all the responses submitted for that question.

On each detail page, users can also delete the icebreaker, submit a response, delete a response, or edit a response. The user also has the option to edit the icebreaker, but only if there have been no answers submitted.

Next Steps

• Incorporate OAuth so that only logged in users can add questions and answers. And so that only the user who added a question or answer can edit or delete it.
• Include a detail page for a user that lists all the responses they have submitted.
• Incorporate like or favorite functionality, and include liked questions/ responses on a user's favorites page.
• Allow users to click a topic and see an index page with only questions relating to that topic.
• Include a submission language filter to screen for profanity.
