#Brainstormer

Brainstormer is built to make the process of brainstorming and idea sharing easier.

Visit http://brainstormideation.herokuapp.com to try it now!

It leverages React, Flux, and Socket.io to create a truly seamless user and collaborative experience.

Traditional brainstorming is broken. We anchor onto each others ideas stemming our own creative process, people with strong personalities tend to dominate the conversation, and overall it is just very inefficient.

So we created a software solution for this problem. Introducing brainswarming:

Ideate ideas in a traditional brainstorm manner but then brainswarm on creating an actionable plan. It is an interactive experience with your colleagues that produces not just more ideas but more "good ideas".
