[Feature Request] Allow multiple overlapping Secret Santa pools #14

Closed janssenvdh closed 2 months ago

janssenvdh commented 2 months ago

First of all, I love this app! Thank you so much for sharing it.

I draw names on both sides of my family. It would be great if there could be multiple, overlapping pools of participants for Secret Santa. I suggest the pools be named in a customized way during participant selection, such as "Smith" and "Jones".

A possible workaround is to use a separate instance for each family (easy with Docker), but then the set of gift ideas would not be shared between them.

I was able to create effectively separate non-overlapping pools by checking the box for different names each time (e.g., one pool for adults and another for children), but the instructions get overwritten in santa_inst.txt (although that can be worked around by listing each set of instructions in the instructions field during the last setup). However, with only one assigned_user field in the JSON file, any duplicate participants will overwrite the assignments for earlier pools.

Hello! I've made a new commit you can now add different pools with each different instructions. Also updated the docker image! Hope it will work well for you! Thanks
