This code provides the "Stem Soul Compatibility Test" from the Wasted Space on the 13th Floor as a Streamlit app.
This app is deployed at http://text2gene.com:8501 with zero guarantees of workingness or uptime. :)
The Stem Soul Compatibility Test asks for your name, whether you are answering as an individual or as a group, and then four super basic questions that essentially boil down to a 4-factor version of the Big 5.
The questions result in a 4-digit "alchemical code" that is then applied to a flat-file database of creatures with personality codes of their own. If there's a perfect match, that one result will show on the side panel. If it's not a perfect match, you'll see two "nearest neighbors" to your code to choose from as your Stem Soul match.
(This app relates to an art installation from a secret art event held in a hotel in November, 2019. So if none of this makes any sense, that's OK!)
First, clone this repo. Then make a python virtual environment and activate it. For example:
python3.7 -m venv ~/.streamlitve
source ~/.streamlitve/bin/activate
Note that you cannot put the virtualenv in the same directory as this repo. (It breaks streamlit.)
Now install streamlit:
pip install streamlit
Finally, run the app!
streamlit run 13thfloor.py
This command should pop up a browser window already connecting to the app. If not -- or if you're trying to deploy this on a remote server -- look for a line after you run this that contains the IP address and port number, such as:
You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser. URL: http://localhost:8501
Even if the displayed URL says "localhost", the app is actually binding to 0.0.0.0 -- meaning, you can connect to it remotely using a public or private IP address. That's how this app is able to be served from text2gene.com.
Streamlit has not been security-hardened for exposure to the internet. Leaving it running on a non-privileged port (e.g. its own 8501 or 8502 defaults) constitutes the best method of keeping your server relatively safe from port-scanning script kiddies, but I make no guarantees of protection from determined attackers.
