1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,520
Welcome to another deep dive.

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,960
You know, we love to dig into the tech that's shaping the world.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,760
And today we're diving into lime survey and a special shout out to safe server

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,960
for making this deep dive possible.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:12,640
Absolutely.

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,240
They're the experts in hosting and digital transformation and even

7
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:17,760
offer lime survey hosting.

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,880
Now back to lime survey.

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,160
Okay.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Surveys.

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,960
We've all taken them.

13
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Oh yeah, tons of them.

14
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,880
But have you ever stopped to think about what goes into making one?

15
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,160
Not really, to be honest.

16
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,360
Well, get ready because today we're going deep into lime survey.

17
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,520
We've got documentation, marketing material, the whole shebang.

18
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,080
The goal to understand not just what this platform is, but why

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,360
everyone's buzzing about it.

20
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,920
And right off the bat, one thing that caught my eye is that lime

21
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,520
survey is positioned as a powerful, completely free alternative to

22
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,760
some of the big names out there.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Yeah.

24
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Giants like survey monkey.

25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,200
Exactly.

26
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520
And free is always a good starting point.

27
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,000
Free is fantastic, especially when you consider that it's open source.

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,080
Open source.

29
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,040
That's another big one.

30
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,040
What does that actually mean for someone who just wants to make a survey?

31
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,880
It means you're not locked in.

32
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,960
You have the freedom to customize, to tweak, to make it fit your needs perfectly.

33
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,480
Ah, so it's not just about saving money.

34
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000
It's about having control.

35
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,320
Total control.

36
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,040
Their tagline also mentions unmatched flexibility.

37
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,600
Is that just marketing hype?

38
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,080
Surprisingly, it's not.

39
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,240
Lime survey really packs in the features, unlimited surveys, unlimited questions,

40
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,240
support for over 80 languages.

41
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Whoa, unlimited surveys.

42
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,080
That alone opens up a world of possibilities.

43
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,360
And get this over 900 survey templates.

44
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,840
They've thought of pretty much everything.

45
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Customer satisfaction, academic research, you name it.

46
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,160
900 templates.

47
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,320
Talk about having options.

48
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:50,600
Yeah.

49
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,360
But what if you want to design something completely unique from scratch?

50
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,880
Lime surveys got you covered there too.

51
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,840
With over 30 question types, you can go way beyond simple multiple choice.

52
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,080
30 question types.

53
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,840
That's impressive.

54
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,000
And don't forget about things like skip logic and question branching.

55
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Your survey can adapt based on the answers.

56
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,280
Sounds pretty dynamic.

57
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Okay.

58
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,200
So it's powerful, it's flexible, but who's Lime survey actually for?

59
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Anyone and everyone who needs to gather information.

60
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Small businesses, big corporations, researchers, educators, the list goes on.

61
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,040
So it's not just for tech wizards.

62
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,040
Anyone can use it.

63
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Absolutely.

64
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,560
They've made it super user friendly.

65
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,840
And if you ever get stuck, there's a huge online community ready to help.

66
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,360
That's great.

67
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,600
A built-in support system.

68
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaking of support, I noticed they offer both self-hosting and a hosted option.

69
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,800
What's the difference?

70
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Self-hosting gives you the most control, but requires some technical know-how.

71
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,120
You're responsible for setup and maintenance.

72
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,440
The hosted option is a lot simpler.

73
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,520
You create an account and start building.

74
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Lime survey takes care of the rest.

75
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,600
So for beginners, hosted is probably the way to go.

76
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Definitely the easiest way to jump in.

77
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,200
Plus, there's a free tier to try it out.

78
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,040
Free trial.

79
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Love it.

80
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,320
Okay.

81
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,080
Let's say I'm sold on Lime survey.

82
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,200
What are some of those standout features that make it special?

83
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,680
Well, besides the incredible number of question types and templates, there's a

84
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,520
feature called expression script that lets you create some really complex

85
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,080
logic and calculations.

86
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Expression script sounds a bit technical, but interesting.

87
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,800
It is, but it's incredibly powerful.

88
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,200
For example, you could create a quiz where different answers have different

89
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,240
point values and Lime survey can automatically calculate the score.

90
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Ah, so it adds a level of intelligence to the surveys.

91
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:31,920
Precisely.

92
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,880
You can use it for validating responses, personalizing content, even

93
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,200
connecting with other systems.

94
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:37,560
Wow.

95
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,240
We've covered a lot.

96
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,960
Maybe a quick recap before we move on.

97
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Yeah, good idea.

98
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Lime survey, powerful, free, open source, incredibly flexible, tons of

99
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,080
features and suitable for pretty much everyone.

100
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Whether you choose to self-host or go with the hosted option, it's designed

101
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,800
to be user-friendly and deliver valuable insights.

102
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,720
And let's not forget the vibrant community always there to lend a hand.

103
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,640
Exactly.

104
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,480
So if you're looking for a top-notch survey solution without the hefty price

105
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,120
tag, Lime survey is definitely worth checking out.

106
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Now, before we jump into the more advanced stuff, sounds good to me.

107
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Let's do it.

108
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,640
One thing that really sets Lime survey apart is their focus on data security

109
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,360
and privacy, they've got features like two-factor authentication, keeping

110
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,280
those accounts safe.

111
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:20,960
Exactly.

112
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,840
And they also have data encryption to protect all those survey responses.

113
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,080
Especially these days.

114
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,040
That's a big deal.

115
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,600
You don't want any data breaches.

116
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,680
Nope, not at all.

117
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,680
And you know what else?

118
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,040
Lime survey is fully compliant with GDPR.

119
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,720
GDPR.

120
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Okay.

121
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,280
For those who don't know, what does that mean?

122
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:41,040
Basically, it means they meet those strict European standards for data privacy.

123
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,920
So you know, your data is being handled responsibly.

124
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,120
So whether you're collecting sensitive information or just doing a fun poll,

125
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,360
you're good to go.

126
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,240
Exactly.

127
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,720
And you know, speaking of different types of surveys,

128
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,160
one of the things I love about Lime survey is how much you can customize the

129
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,920
look and feel.

130
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Oh, right.

131
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,440
They talk about on brand surveys.

132
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,960
What does that really mean though?

133
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Is it just adding your logo?

134
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,520
It's way more than that.

135
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,080
Think colors, fonts, even custom CSS.

136
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,720
If you want to get fancy, you can make those surveys match your brand perfectly.

137
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Ah, so it's a truly branded experience, not just a generic template.

138
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Right.

139
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,560
And you know what, that can make a huge difference in how people respond to your

140
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,120
surveys.

141
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,600
It's all about making a good first impression, right?

142
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,320
Absolutely.

143
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,160
Okay.

144
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,920
So let's shift gears a bit and talk about actually getting started with lime

145
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,240
survey for someone brand new.

146
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,920
What are the first steps?

147
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Yeah.

148
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,280
Good question.

149
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:36,720
Where do you even begin?

150
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Well, first things first, you got to decide self-hosting or the hosted option.

151
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,280
We talked about that earlier, right?

152
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:43,520
Right.

153
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Tech savvy folks might go for self-hosting.

154
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Yep.

155
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:49,640
And if you choose that route, you'll need to download the software, install it on

156
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,640
your server, but don't worry, they have detailed documentation to walk you through

157
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,640
it step by step.

158
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,000
Sounds like a bit of a project.

159
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,240
What about the hosted option?

160
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,280
Oh, that's super easy.

161
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:00,640
You just create an account on their website and you're good to go.

162
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,440
Easy peasy.

163
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Plus there's that free tier we mentioned.

164
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,600
So you can test it out before committing to a paid plan.

165
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,040
Always a good idea to try before you buy, but let's say I'm ready.

166
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,000
I've set up my account.

167
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,640
I'm ready to create my first survey.

168
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,840
What next?

169
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,360
Well, once you're logged in, you'll see the survey builder interface.

170
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,040
And trust me, this is where the fun begins.

171
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,080
Ooh, fun.

172
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,600
I like it.

173
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,160
It's a drag and drop interface, super easy to use, add questions, rearrange

174
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,600
them, customize the layout, all that good stuff.

175
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,280
Drag and drop.

176
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:29,960
I love a good visual interface.

177
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,840
And don't forget about those 900 plus templates.

178
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,240
You can pick one that's close to what you need and tweak it from there.

179
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,680
That saves so much time.

180
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,840
So you don't have to start from scratch every time.

181
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:40,680
Exactly.

182
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,920
And when you're adding those questions, Lime Survey has tons of different

183
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,320
question types to choose from.

184
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,320
It's not just multiple choice.

185
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,680
You can get really creative.

186
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,000
Right.

187
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,840
We talked about all those options before.

188
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:54,800
Image choices, ranking questions, Likert scales, all that jazz.

189
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,480
And of course you can add in those advanced features we mentioned earlier,

190
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,960
like skip logic and question branching, really make those surveys interactive.

191
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,240
Okay.

192
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,720
So I've got my questions all laid out, added some logic.

193
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,000
Now what?

194
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,640
How do I actually get people to take my survey?

195
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,160
Oh, Lime Survey makes sharing a breeze.

196
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,880
You can generate a public link, share it on social media, email it out,

197
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,360
even embed it on your website.

198
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,680
Pretty standard stuff for online surveys.

199
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,000
Yeah.

200
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,640
But they also have some more advanced options like closed access surveys.

201
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Closed access.

202
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Hmm.

203
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,360
What's that?

204
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,480
So with closed access, only people with a special invitation or a

205
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,240
password can take your survey.

206
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Ah, I see.

207
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,760
So if you need to be really specific about who's responding.

208
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Exactly.

209
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,640
Great for things like employee feedback or sensitive research.

210
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,880
Adds an extra layer of control.

211
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Right.

212
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:40,880
Makes sense.

213
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600
And speaking of data, you know, sometimes we forget about what

214
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,240
happens after people have responded.

215
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Oh yeah.

216
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,640
What do you do with all that data?

217
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Exactly.

218
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,440
What kind of tools does lime survey offer for analyzing the results?

219
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Well, they've got some pretty powerful built-in tools right

220
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,320
there in the platform.

221
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Oh, nice.

222
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,760
You can see responses in real time, generate charts and graphs, even

223
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,240
export the data if you want to analyze it elsewhere.

224
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,640
So you're not just collecting data.

225
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200
You're actually able to make sense of it, draw conclusions.

226
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,120
Exactly.

227
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,560
They've got tools for everything from simple counts to some pretty

228
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,800
fancy statistical analysis.

229
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,920
That's really helpful.

230
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,760
It's all in one place.

231
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,080
Right.

232
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,760
Okay.

233
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,000
So we've talked about how lime survey handles everything from building your

234
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,520
survey to analyzing the data, but let's circle back to the community

235
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,440
aspect for a minute.

236
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Yeah.

237
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,640
You mentioned that before the community support.

238
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,640
How can that actually help people?

239
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Give us some examples.

240
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Sure.

241
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,360
Let's say you're trying to do something a bit more complex, like using that

242
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,080
expression script to create a custom scoring system, right?

243
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,200
Getting a bit fancy instead of struggling alone.

244
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,240
You can hop onto the lime survey forums, ask for help.

245
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,680
There are tons of people who've been there done that.

246
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,360
Uh, so it's like tapping into the collective wisdom of the lawn survey

247
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:55,760
community.

248
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,400
Exactly.

249
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,440
And honestly, they're super responsive, really helpful.

250
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,720
You'll get the answers you need.

251
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,680
That's fantastic.

252
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,000
So it's not just about troubleshooting.

253
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,680
It's about learning from others, sharing tips and tricks.

254
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:06,400
Totally.

255
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,400
You can discover new ways to use features, find prebuilt templates.

256
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,640
It's really valuable.

257
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840
I love that collaborative aspect of open source.

258
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,240
You're not just using software.

259
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,320
You're part of a community.

260
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,280
It's true.

261
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,160
And you know, as we're talking about community and collaboration, it reminded

262
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,400
me of something really interesting that lime survey offers.

263
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,400
Ooh, tell me more.

264
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,200
It's called the remote control API.

265
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Now this is getting a bit technical, but basically it lets you interact with

266
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,760
lime survey from other applications using code.

267
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Okay.

268
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,040
So for us non coders, break that down a bit.

269
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,920
Think of it as controlling lime survey remotely.

270
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,960
You could, for example, write a script that automatically creates a new

271
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,280
survey in lime survey based on information from another system.

272
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Ah, okay.

273
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,200
So like automating things, connecting lime survey to other parts of your workflow.

274
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:58,760
You got it.

275
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,280
And that's where things get really interesting.

276
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,320
You can integrate lime survey into your existing processes, trigger surveys

277
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,840
automatically, pull the data back into your systems for analysis, next level

278
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,600
stuff, but I got to admit, I'm not a coder.

279
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,960
Is this just for developers?

280
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,320
Well, you do need some coding skills to use the API effectively, but the good

281
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,640
news is lime survey has great documentation and examples to help you get started.

282
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,160
And if all else fails, there's always that awesome community to turn to.

283
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,920
Always.

284
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,080
They're a gold mine of knowledge.

285
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,000
Someone out there has probably done what you're trying to do.

286
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,840
That's reassuring.

287
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,960
It's amazing how much power and flexibility you get with a free platform like this.

288
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,760
I know, right?

289
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,400
It really challenges the idea that you have to pay a

290
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,800
fortune for high quality software.

291
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,840
It's a testament to the power of open source.

292
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,400
That's for sure.

293
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,240
Absolutely.

294
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,640
When you have a passionate community working together, great things can happen.

295
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Well said.

296
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,280
This has been a fascinating deep dive into the world of lime survey.

297
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,480
We've covered so much ground from the basics to the more advanced features, the

298
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,960
community and the potential for integration.

299
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,840
It's been great.

300
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320
I'm really impressed with what lime survey offers.

301
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,920
Me too.

302
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,240
And you know, as we wrap up this part of our deep dive, it's worth taking a moment

303
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,720
to think about the bigger picture here.

304
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Okay.

305
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,680
I'm listening.

306
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,000
We live in a world that's driven by data.

307
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,880
Businesses, organizations, researchers, they're all trying to understand what's

308
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,360
going on, make informed decisions and tools like lime survey are making

309
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,200
that easier than ever.

310
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,360
That's a great point.

311
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,560
It's not just big corporations that can gather data anymore.

312
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:27,320
Exactly.

313
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,520
Anyone can use lime survey to collect and analyze data.

314
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,960
It's empowering.

315
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,880
I love that.

316
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,080
It's exciting to think about the potential impact, not just for

317
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,960
businesses, but for individuals, for communities.

318
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,720
It's the beauty of open source, right?

319
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,120
It levels the playing field.

320
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:43,960
Absolutely.

321
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,760
Well said.

322
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,160
This has been a truly inspiring conversation and a quick reminder to our listeners.

Now, before we move on, I think it's time for a little challenge for our listeners.

328
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,840
Ooh, a challenge.

329
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,480
I like it.

330
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Given everything we've learned about lime surveys, flexibility and potential.

331
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,640
Yes.

332
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,280
What are some unconventional, unexpected ways that this tool could be used?

333
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,680
Ooh, that's a good one.

334
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,720
Think outside the box, folks.

335
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,560
We're really curious to hear your ideas.

336
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,120
Share them with us on social media.

337
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,920
Let's keep this conversation going.

338
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360
All right, that wraps up this part of our Lime Survey deep dive.

339
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Stay tuned for more insights and discussions.

340
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,280
That's a great challenge.

341
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,400
It really makes you think beyond just, you know, the typical uses for surveys.

342
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:36,880
Right.

343
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,000
We tend to think, oh, market research, but lime survey can do so much more.

344
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,240
It really is like a Swiss army knife of data collection.

345
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,640
You can use it for community engagement, for gathering

346
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,520
feedback on policy proposals.

347
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Exactly.

348
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Or even citizen science projects.

349
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,920
Think about that gathering data from volunteers all over the world, contributing

350
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,280
to actual research.

351
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,400
Now that you mention it, I remember reading about a research project.

352
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,920
They use a platform like lime survey to study bird migration.

353
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:06,640
Really?

354
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,200
Yeah.

355
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Volunteers could submit sightings through a custom survey and the researchers

356
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,600
ended up with this huge data set.

357
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,800
Wow.

358
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,760
That's amazing.

359
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,040
It would have been impossible to collect that much data using traditional methods.

360
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880
And think about it because lime survey supports so many languages.

361
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,360
You can reach a global audience, get insights from all over the world.

362
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,280
That's huge.

363
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Breaking down those geographical barriers.

364
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,160
It opens up so many possibilities.

365
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,080
And, you know, speaking of breaking down barriers, what about the

366
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,680
potential for education?

367
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:34,360
Oh yeah.

368
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,560
Tell me more.

369
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,680
Teachers could use lime survey to create interactive quizzes, gather

370
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:43,600
student feedback, even conduct class-wide research projects.

371
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,120
Instead of those boring old paper surveys.

372
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:46,480
Right.

373
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,440
Make it engaging, make it fun.

374
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,280
And it introduces students to real-world research methods.

375
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,160
I love it.

376
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,440
It's so adaptable.

377
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,840
It really shows how powerful and flexible lime survey is.

378
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
And, you know, all this talk about unconventional uses.

379
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,560
It reminds us to think outside the box.

380
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:02,840
Right.

381
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,440
We often get stuck in these traditional ways of thinking about tools, but

382
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,320
innovation comes from challenging those assumptions.

383
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,880
It's like looking at something familiar from a whole new angle.

384
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,200
Suddenly you see all these possibilities.

385
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,480
Exactly.

386
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,560
So to everyone listening, don't be afraid to experiment with lime

387
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,160
survey, push the boundaries, explore the features, see what you can create.

388
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,240
That's a great message.

389
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,520
This deep dive has been incredible.

390
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,680
We've gone from the basics of lime survey to some really thought provoking ideas.

391
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320
It's been fun more than just a survey platform.

392
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,680
It's a tool that can empower individuals, organizations,

393
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,360
communities in so many ways.
