FAQ:

What is this?

Icebreaker questions are conversation starters you can ask to get to know someone, or to know your team. Load the site and it will present one of the thousands of questions in the list. Push the Pick another question button to pick another question. If you want to go back to a previous question, push your browser's back button.

Can I change the appearance of the site?

Yes, click the icon on the bottom right that looks like a painter's palette. You can cycle through all of the available themes

These questions are terrible!

First, that's not even a question. But fair point. The questions are scraped from the web, and the quality is uneven. Go ahead and press that pick another button.

Or, if you want to edit the questions, you can! Thank you for your help! This is an open-source project, so if there's a change you would like to see, please file an issue or even better, make the change yourself and submit a pull request. There are so many options.

How do I add questions?

The questions are all listed in the QUESTIONS.md file. Add your questions to the bottom of the list, following the pattern, which is:

- Credit: [Name of creator](https://creators.website)
  - This is the question?
  - In a list?
  - Underneath the Credit line?

Or file an issue.

How do I edit or remove questions?

Remove or edit the question in question in the QUESTIONS.md file then submit a pull request. Or file an issue.

I'm the copyright owner and I want my questions removed!

First, that's not a question, but understood. Second, are you sure? You're credited, and it drives traffic to your page. But if you insist, there are many ways to contact me, but the easiest is to file an issue and I'll take it down.

I made a really neat color scheme for Icebreakers and I'd like to share it with the world!

Awesome! There are two ways, so whichever is easiest for you:

1. Fork & PR on THEMES.md
2. File an issue with details.

Are you interested in monetization opportunities?

Not in the slightest. But the license allows you to do that yourself without my permission. Knock yourself out! Let me know how it goes.

Development

Install git & node, then:

git clone https://github.com/rendall/icebreakers
cd icebreakers
npm install
npm run build
npm run serve

npm run start also works, using webpack's dev server and hot module reloading, but it may require a browser refresh or two
