wordcloud-dj's Issues

Create submission interface

There should be a simple default interface which allows users to submit words to the cloud.

• Show any question banner
• Use sessions to prevent resubmission of duplicates?

Submission validation / pre-processing rules should be configured from the host screen

• Treatment of special characters
• Upper/lower case enforced
• Split all words vs n-word phrase constraints
• Synonyms/translations/common error correction

Configure word cloud visual parameters

Visual parameters should be configured from the host screen:

• Word angle parameters (range and number of distinct angles)
• Spiral type (rectangular vs archimedean)
• Scaling function (log n, sqrt n, n)
• Font
• Colour palette

Cloud preview in host interface

Host interface needs a preview either showing the actual cloud, or some sample words so the host can see the impact of their changes.

Create a host screen

Host screen should:

• Allow for a short tag to reference the cloud to be created
• Capture a "secret" allowing only those in possession of the secret to make administrative changes to a cloud

Host interface to administer word list

• Remove words
• Merge words

Create view-only interface

• Draw based on host configured parameters
• Freeze / follow mode
• Export to PNG/SVG
• Fullscreen toggle

Question/topic banner

It would be useful to be able to configure a banner in the host interface which is then shown above/below (option) the word cloud in the view interface

Follow mode - update on changes only

Hashing the json payload for drawing the cloud (inc. config info) would allow follow mode to only update on changes.
