A demo built on top of RethinkDB, socket.io, and Express.

Intro

realtime-rating is an app to give real time feedback about a talk. The audience can connect to it and start giving feedback by tapping on the "reactions" displayed (or adding new ones).

It looks a like this:

I presented it at the RealTime Web Lightning Talks and the audience has cast something like 900 votes and it ended up like:

[
    {
        "count":220,
        "vote":"Trump for president "
    },
    {
        "count":106,
        "vote":"💩"
    },
    {
        "count":84,
        "vote":"💓"
    },
    {
        "count":77,
        "vote":"talk louder please"
    },
    {
        "count":75,
        "vote":"😬"
    },
    {
        "count":71,
        "vote":"Gross"
    },
    {
        "count":60,
        "vote":"😁"
    },
    {
        "count":50,
        "vote":"Well... "
    },
    {
        "count":41,
        "vote":"😸"
    },
    {
        "count":20,
        "vote":"👍"
    },
    {
        "count":18,
        "vote":"Hey!"
    },
    {
        "count":18,
        "vote":"Kool"
    },
    {
        "count":15,
        "vote":":("
    },
    {
        "count":9,
        "vote":""
    },
    {
        "count":9,
        "vote":"angst"
    },
    {
        "count":7,
        "vote":"indifference"
    },
    {
        "count":2,
