* dev.metalisp.survey
** Introduction
I am developing a simple web application in Common Lisp that facilitates the
execution of the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire. This app allows
users to easily conduct usability evaluations by presenting the standard SUS
questions and collecting responses. The goal is to streamline the process of
gathering and analyzing usability feedback.

** Installation instructions
*** 1. Install a Common Lisp implementation

   - Ensure you have a Common Lisp implementation installed. Common options
     include SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp) and CCL (Clozure Common Lisp). You
     can download and install them from their respective websites:

     - [[http://www.sbcl.org/][SBCL]]
     - [[https://ccl.clozure.com/][CCL]]

*** 2. Set up ASDF

   - ASDF is typically bundled with modern Lisp implementations. However, if
     it's not present, you can download it from [[https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf][ASDF's repository]].

*** 3. Organize the project directory

   - Place the =dev.metalisp.survey= project in the =~/common-lisp=
     directory. Ensure the directory structure looks like this:

     #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
     ~/common-lisp/
       └── dev.metalisp.survey/
           ├── dev.metalisp.survey.asd
           └── src/
               └── app.lisp
     #+END_EXAMPLE

*** 4. Configure ASDF to find the project

   - Open your Common Lisp REPL and run the following commands to set up the
     ASDF central registry:

     #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
     ;; Ensure ASDF is loaded
     (require :asdf)

     ;; Add ~/common-lisp to the ASDF central registry
     (push #p"~/common-lisp/" asdf:*central-registry*)
     #+END_SRC

*** 5. Load the project

   - In your REPL, load the project by running:

     #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
     (asdf:load-system :dev.metalisp.survey)
     #+END_SRC

*** 6. Run the project

   - After loading the system, you can run the main function or entry point of
     the project.
     =ml-survey:start=, you would execute:

     #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
     (ml-survey:start)
     #+END_SRC

*** Optional: Example Initialization in .sbclrc

To make the ASDF configuration persistent across REPL sessions, you can add the
setup to your =.sbclrc= file:

1. Edit =.sbclrc=
   - Open (or create) the =.sbclrc= file in your home directory and add the
     following lines:

     #+BEGIN_SRC lisp
     (require :asdf)
     (push #p"~/common-lisp/" asdf:*central-registry*)
     #+END_SRC

2. Reload SBCL
   - The next time you start SBCL, it will automatically include the
     =~/common-lisp= directory in the ASDF central registry.
