Qabic allows you to effortlessly handle Q&A for your events. You get a phone number and a custom URL that your audience uses to submit their questions. Your speaker/panel/moderator can access the questions throughout the entire event. Everyone can vote on each question, so you have easy access to exactly what your audience wants to know. The webapp provides three screens:
- The main general-visitor screen which displays a stream of submitted questions (either from the site itself or pulled in via hashtag from Twitter), along with voting on each question. This also allows some sorting of the questions (latest, best, and worst), along with an infinite scroll for easy navigation.
- The stage screen which displays the top few questions by votes. This screen has a magnified & streamlined UI (as compared with the main general-visitor screen) in order to be as relevant and readable as possible.
- The speaker's (and/or moderator's) screen which displays the top few questions. Their vote is much more heavily weighted, immediately pushing their choices either to the top or the bottom depending on their vote. This screen also has a magnified & streamlined UI so that the speaker can get to pending questions as swiftly and naturally as possible.

The goal is to pull images from the internet as they're uploaded, shrink them down to 1x1 pixel, and fill the screen... all live. The current design, and all of the code (both of which will change as I iterate through releases) has been made possible by all of the documentation/examples that is littered across the internet.
This is where I host all of my music, which is typically a downbeat cut & paste collage of sound made in Ableton Live. I put together mixes, produce my own tracks, and create tracks on-spec for other people's mixes, dance classes, or yoga classes, etc. The site runs on WordPress and uses a stock theme.
