Philosophy Profiler 🏛️

Map your team's philosophical commitments and see where everyone stands.

Quick Start (run locally)

cd philosophy-profiler
npm install
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Share with your team

Option A: Same WiFi network

When you run npm start, the terminal shows a Network URL like http://192.168.1.42:3000. Share that URL — anyone on the same WiFi can open it on their phone or laptop.

Option B: Free public URL with Render.com

1. Push this folder to a GitHub repo
2. Go to render.com, sign up free
3. New → Web Service → connect your repo
4. Settings: Build Command = npm install, Start Command = npm start
5. You'll get a public URL like https://philosophy-profiler.onrender.com
6. Share that URL with anyone!

Option C: Quick tunnel with ngrok (no deploy needed)

1. Install ngrok: brew install ngrok (Mac) or download from ngrok.com
2. Run the app: npm start
3. In another terminal: ngrok http 3000
4. Share the ngrok URL it gives you (works from anywhere!)

How it works

1. Create a Room — name it after your team
2. Share the link — teammates open it on any device
3. Everyone takes the quiz — ~40 questions, ~15 min
4. See results — radar charts, position labels, philosophical distance matrix
