Example Use-case
VolHelp
Platform for Open Source developers to provide free/paid support via forms created by Typeform I/O
Owner
Owner is the owner of an open source project that feels like s/he can provide better support for the users of the project.
The owner sets up VolHelp for his account and adds links to the form in Readme and on project website.
User
User is the user of an open source project. The user often feels like the community support is not enough to get proper help.
The user is not afraid of paying a small fee for proper support, provided by experts
Different users

Web-Shop

You want to have a free massage?
Because this is how you get those things
Create Typeform I/O, on your own, in your favorite language
Everyone gets free food
Only one gets free massage
Winner will be elected via lottery
You have one week
Next Friday, we pick the winner
Rules
Rules
- Whatever language you want
- You have one week
- It must implement same behavior as current Typeform I/O
- Accept same JSON structure, work the same way in the legacy application
How Typeform I/O works today
Shared on Github
Standard Rails
application
Thin models
Example JSON provided
Your implementation has to fully comply with existing implementation
Given the same Input (the JSON) it has to have the same Output (the form itself)
Tests will guide you if you're unsure
The current API is fully tested with clear tests that will tell you how the insides work
The clock starts ticking now
