Inspiration
Many people getting online still want a way to easily express themselves that isn't Facebook. A survey allows someone new to expressing themselves online easily take a real-world task (filling a survey out) and using this to generate an entire website that expresses their content. The biggest inspiration for making this though is for those who don't know how to get online and typically force their kids to handle it. Instead, their kids could take them through a survey to at least give them some presence that is clear and organized for others to bookmark and reference who are more web savvy. I'd like for those who are scared of the web even to allow Go Uni to be their first impression of the web, even giving them a printed out survey to fill out and attach pictures too that they can then use as a guide to finish the survey, verify the site looks good, and share it via a text (twilio) with those around them (we're assuming they don't email yet). IF web access is extending to millions more ppl via FaceBook.. then these things need to be considered so that people can use the web from a position of wisdom and not foolishly waste bandwidth but use it in a sensible way!!
What it does
Using Google Survey API I'll grab survey results and deliver them to a Node server. The Node server will check through and ensure the results are within the standards I want and then fill in a single layout designed specifically for the survey results that were captured. The results will be a single page with lots of cursor-guiding animations (done with Greensock) to lead the user interaction and not waste their time finishing out their site. After the leading of the cursor is complete the user can choose to publish their site to a subdomain of their choice and then send it via text (twilio) to anybody they want. This simple site acts as an online expression of the person for anyone needing to learn more about them from afar. If the user wants to password protect their site so that only certain people can access it, I'll be figuring out how this simple authentication will be possible by consulting with ionic.com
How I built it

Challenges I ran into
How can I add security? How should it be added? Should I export saved web sessions with SessionBuddy and provide them to the user as their first browsing experience? If I did deliver pre-made web sessions, could I use Go Uni as a foundation upon which to teach users more about browsing, the browser, email, etc? - Or, should these be separate verticals?
