Alfred : The Flow Tester

Here is Alfred, the flow tester created by Harry Jmg.

How it works

Linked to a Facebook page, Alfred will remember you on Facebook messenger to answer a few questions through a Typeform.com formular.

What questions ?

The questions are my own original adaptation from the self made test "Mash-up HS du flow" published by hacking-social.com which is a mix from the ESM (experience sampling method by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) and the FSS-2 (Flow State Scale 2).

You can read about the article from hacking-social.com here.

Why do you need to answer ?

The advantage of this method is to give you a fresh point of view on your own life without any judgement. You can read about the concept of Flow discovered by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and how to test it respectively here and here.

If reading all these articles is too long for you. Just try it :)

Configuration

The hard part is to connect your Rails app to your Facebook app. The facebook-messenger gem which Alfred is using has a good documentation for that.

You also need to set a typeform webhook (if you want to use Typeform).

To dev for users

Many things are still missing to make the app better...

• [ ] Add SMS or other platforms support :)
• [ ] Prendre en compte la moyenne subjective pour les couleurs
• [ ] Unitary tests
• [ ] Structure flow inputs per 7-10-14 days session (better lisibility and UX)
• [ ] Paginate flow inputs
• [ ] etc etc... If you have any ideas for this list, I invite you to open an issue and I will add it.

To dev for admin

• [ ] An admin Dashboard (recurrent users etc...)

Any questions ?
