Pubquizster
A free AI pub quiz app that builds a quiz on almost any topic in a few seconds. Play solo or live with friends or colleagues.
Pubquizster started as a way to find out what you can do with AI and websockets together.
From experiment to product
The experiment grew into a free pub quiz app that runs on whatever topic you throw at it, from an obscure niche to a theme everyone knows.
The generation engine
What separates it from other AI quiz apps is the generation engine. Rather than sending the model one prompt, it runs every quiz through several steps, so the questions hold up and don't all look alike.
Playing live
Live mode is set up like a real pub quiz, with several topics and rounds. Up to 50 people play at once for a ranking per question and, in the end, a spot on the podium. There's a host mode, where one person presents the quiz and sees the standings, and a hostless mode where the app handles that itself. Good for a night at the pub where everyone joins on their own phone.
Building and status
Testing the socket connections with real groups was the best part of building it. I'm still adding to it.
