Application URL: http://35.230.140.48/.
Everyday at a random time between the morning and the afternoon, a new question is released - this is called the Daily Question. The mind-bending, head-scratching question is provided to all the users so they can answer it. A user's answer is called a Daily, and they can only post one Daily per question. Using the feed, a user can see all of their friend's intriguing, fresh, and controversial Dailies.They can read, comment, and like their friends' Dailies as they please.
