First of all, great jog. The platform is super cool, beautiful, and usefull.

My issue is: is there any way to set a time gap instead of a hole day?
I mean, my meetings never last all day, and sometimes I have 2 or 3 meetings in one single day. Would be very useful if I could set a time window in a day the i`m free for meetings, lets say Monday at 10h to 12h.

Thanks in advance, and great job!

would be great, if there would be options to pick from for the sugested dates, eg: best, suitable, doable, unsuitable.
The options might be picked by the administrator when setting up the event.

Hello,

Awesome work on this one. It will be fantastic if a feature like LDAP (Active Directory) implementation is developed.
What do you think about it?

Hello,

I am trying to schedule an event for the first time. Seven participants have responded, but when any of us look at the event, we can only see the first three.

Thank you,

Hi,

There doesn't seem to be an option to add new participants to an event after scheduling one in Rally. One of my colleagues didn't get an email after inviting him to the event, so i wanted to check if i entered his email address correctly, and if not, then resend his invite.

Could you let me know how this can be done?

Many thanks,
Caroline

It would be nice to have the ability to Mark a date as tentative or maybe. Perhaps it could be a yellow check mark instead of green if you click the box twice. Multiple users for my polls have requested it.

It looks to me as if ANY participant can change the selections of any OTHER participant.....Is that how this thing works?

Before Rallly can compete with the likes of Doodle, this ability to change OTHER partipitant's selections will have to be fixed, right?

or without deleting the participants?

Could you share the sendgrid email template?

Whenever I send an email only the text appears and the buttons/links are missing.

Dates are misaligned with the table content if Firefox as seen on the screenshot.

In style.css line 6 the min-width of ".poll-body .poll-entry .cell.vote-cell" is 70px however a value 50px seems to fit better for me.

I want to be able to send out my link and allow collaborators

• to add their dates in and comments in but not be able to edit others comments or selection
• and also not be able to edit the details

this would make it less stressful wether people are editing it or not.

Hi Luke,

It's a great work and I like it, so happy to see your coming revision!

One suggestion: In addition to let meeting creator defined the date(time), is it possible to allow attendee add additional date(time)?

Thanks a lot and have a wonderful 2017!

Hi @lukevella

I was trying to install Rallly but could not get it up and running. First off, here's the details of my setup

Rallly version (commit hash): deed6d6
Operating system: Debian Stretch (9.4)
Installation method: manual
nodejs version: 8.11.2
MongoDB version: 3.2 (as in Debian stretch)

I'm going to list all I did to be as verbose as possible:

Step 1: clone rallly, result: success
Step 2: npm run installation, result: success (includes entering information for config.json)
Step 3: npm start, result: error:

sh: 1: nodemon: not found

Obviously nodemon is not listed in package.json, so:
Step 4: npm install nodemon, result: success
Step 5: npm start, result: error:

From here on, I am at a loss. That's why I'm opening this issue.

Cheers & Thanks for any hint you can give
Thomas

Some participants can't save their selections. Are certain Web Browsers non-compatible? Or is there another reason?

Would be nice to have integration with google calendar.

These are just a few improvement and feature ideas moved from #29.

Improvements

• Ability to add attendees after the initial creation of event.
• Option to add an email address in an attendees response so an email can be sent to them with the final date decision.

Feature Ideas

• Some sort of authentication. At least a password for editing the details since anyone can edit the event.
• Option to set a password for the event. It would be good if there could be one password that you share with all the attendees so that a private event can be just that. Private.

Hello,

When I launch the application and try to add a page by clicking on "Schedule an event", I am redirected to the same page.

Moreover, I start on a site like yours, and not on the application itself when I go to the right port

I need to add people to an existing poll - please help!

Build artifacts in the public folder should not be version controlled as they are simply generated artifacts. just like bower_components and node_modules. Every time gulp watch is run it rebuilds those files and Git thinks they have changed. It clutters commit and PR diffs. Moving all of those artifacts to a public/build folder that is in the .gitignore would solve the problem.

I was trying to read Rallly's license, but I was having a really hard time doing so because the format is rather crazy. So I went and found the CC-BY-NC license from CC and read it instead. It is CC-BY-NC v3, correct? Can the license be replaced with a more readable formatted version? I believe this is the same license formatted better: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/legalcode.txt

Is it desirable for me to be able to change other's votes? My concern would be errors more than malicious voters. Also, I would prefer to cast a "weighted" vote. First, second, third choice, which yields a more complex value for each option, especially if a time option were added.
That being said, thanks for undertaking this. Hits a huge, sweet need my volunteer organization has. Saves perhaps 2 dozen emails with reply-all and no integrated tabulation.

When using an alternate TLD, such as business.consulting, Rallly throws an errors, stating the email address (ex. [email protected]) is invalid. Appears there's QA logic on the email address format, but it is not recognizing alternate TLDs as valid. Please fix.

We have polls running for a whole month and it would be ideal if we could always see the participants' names when scrolling towards the end of the month.

Regards

Johan

Having the ability to suggest a date would be extremely helpful. I just found that everything is extremely easy...except when you have one key person unable to attend because they were unable to suggest a date.

One should only be required to enter the name either as a participant or as the commenter. Once the name is filled in once section, the other section should fill the name automatically.

A privacy statement is needed.

You're asking people to submit email addresses, for themselves and other people, and holding info about meetings that may potentially have privacy issues.

It would be nice to be able to add extra dates, without resetting everyone's votes.

Hi,

I can't seem to view my recipients in the Rallly event now that I've sent it out. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Here is an idea! Build a Rallly mobile app! Since it is built with MEAN, this could be easily accomplished with Ionic/Cordova. I've built a few Ionic apps so I could do this myself.

Venues usually have capacity limits, so I think limiting the participants amount would be ideal, such as first come first served mode, and limitation of the votes.

Selected date options do not appear to be completely synchronised with all other participants.

The example below are screenshots of exactly the same board from two different users (one having selected 22nd Aug, but shows as 23rd Aug for the other):

How do I compile the jade templates into app.js?

Any changes I've made appear on my development machine but don't on my production server...
so I presume they get compiled in development but not production?

I would like to run the app on own server but in Slovak locale, how difficult would the localisation be?

As I said in #29, it would be great if the Rallly.co hosted service had SSL encryption. It's almost expected these days for websites to have SSL and some potential users may not use Rallly because it doesn't have SSL.

This could be a simple and free change. Or it may not be. It depends on where Rallly.co is hosted. Based on a DNS lookup I'm going to guess that it is hosted on a Digital Ocean Droplet using Express directly. That makes SSL easy.

I would recommend using Let's Encrypt. I would also recommend reverse proxying the Express server with Caddy , Apache, or NGINX in a production environment. This improves security and makes SSL easier. I would highly recommend Caddy because SSL is automatic with Let's Encrypt.

The router should remove the trailing slash and redirect to do the appropriate URL.

Hey,
First, Thanks for this such brilliant project.
There is an error when I try to deploy the project with "Docker easy way" I got this error:

Also, it will crash at this stage when use docker-compose up -d:
I must mention, I did copy sample-env to .env and put configurations.

I've just created a poll and switched on notification emails.
I received a confirmation mail, but the email contains placeholders which aren't replaced. The button also doesn't work.

Would be nice to be able to support multiple days slots (e.g. by draging over calendar)

Simply put, this does not work out of the box when self hosted. It is VERY specific to Rallly.co and some changes need to be made. Here are some of the things I found:

Self Hosting Optimization

• The from email address is hard coded to [email protected] (should be set in config/main.js)
• The from name is hard coded to Rallly (also should be set it config/main.js)
• Docker/docker-compose support: Containers are all the rage these days. This would be nice for a quick setup of Rallly.
• Better installation instructions. I had to jump through quite a few hoops to get it running in the first place. There is no docs on how MongoDB should be configured or how to keep Rallly running (e.g. with Forever.
• While there is the ability to set your own SendGrid API key, it doesn't actually work because it references a SendGrid email template which is SendGrid account based. The template ID should also not be hard coded. The creation of a SendGrid template should be documented.

General Improvements/Feature Ideas

• Moved to #31

Rallly.co Cloud Hosted Service

• Moved to #30

I can definitely help with some of this. I've got a decent amount of MEAN (minus mongo) experience. Be expecting some PRs.

I love the idea of this software and I would love to use it but it needs a little work as all software does. 😉

As a result, npm install fails. See the issue here: https://github.com/jjwchoy/mongoose-shortid/issues/13

I really appreciate the good UI and appearance. It's super easy to use. One addition which would make Rally more appealing to a wider audience is an option of distinguishing time of day for each of the options. Another suggestion is adding the ability to comment on each individual option selection (ie for informing of specific conditionals not applicable to the total data set).

Thanks!

Using Rallly, people fill out the survey for potential calendar dates, and I (the coordinator) do not receive the notification (by email) that they completed the survey. I have used the icon, and turned it green, for me to receive notification.

Another note, it would be nice to be able to add people once the event/survey has been initiated. Thanks

I just discovered Rallly, it's awesome and design is much better than Doodle. Here is a fast feedback.

I see just one problem: the "Save" button is hidden when you pick a lot of date options (because you have to go to the last option to see it) => for average people (which are not used to web tools), it's a big problem because they can forget to slide right and therefore, to save.
I think it would be much better to place it under the table...

Thank you!
Camille

I am in CST, and a friend of mine is in PST. When I create an event and add days, all of his day options are a full day "back" from what I'm saying. That is -- if I pick Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, he will instead see options for: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

I'll try to recreate the event & see if that fixes it, but wanted to note this before I forgot!

I am new to Rallly. Have sent a poll and am receiving email responses that individuals have "voted" but when I click on the link, there is no information included. The poll is empty. What did I miss in the set up?
Thank you

Nice Application you've created here.

Would be great if one could create polls about non-date topics.
Like in Framadate, where you can make an "event poll" or "classic poll".
Like to vote for where to order pizza or which movie to watch in cinema ;)

best regards,
chris

Let users specify a preference value for each of their votes. Value can be low, medium or high and should default to medium.
