Shyness

Shyness is a gem designed to allow students to post questions they have to a website from the command line without raising their hand.

Inspiration for the names Ask and Shyness are courteousy of Moz

At the command line enter

$ gem install shyness

In order to use shyness from the command line, run the following command:

$ shyness ask "Your question here!"

Shyness also comes prepackaged with the ability to generate an alias so that you can simply enter sa instead of shyness ask before your question.

$ shyness add_alias
$ source ~/.bash_profile
$ sa "Your new question here!"

You should only need to run the add_alias and source commands above once. After that, you can use sa for all future questions.

Future development plans include:

• Allowing users to set a Cohort variable that would then be accepted by the API and saved with the question.
• Allowing users to set the route to which they will post.
