There are lots of ways. It depends on your resources.

Me, I'd probably use a combination of Drupal and Hype. The keyword you're probably looking for is JSON. The database, combined with a web server, would output the data. Hype would go get that data and display it locally.

There's a freelance category here... Freelance - Tumult Forums

Again, resources is key. This sounds like an expensive project. So, you might want to research more. A Drupal project (and web projects in general) can get VERY EXPENSIVE if you're not careful. (Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't have enough time to properly research affordable solutions.) Perhaps a simpler solution is quicker, easier and cheaper. I'm familiar with Drupal and Hype, so that's probably how I would fix the problem, but that's not the only way to do it.

Maybe more detail will help...

  • Where's the data coming from?
  • Is this live data that needs to be constantly updated?
  • How exactly is the data to be displayed? (Charts?!)

I haven't actually taken on any freelance projects from here, just being friendly :smiley:

many thanks for your help … the objective is simple i have a list of guests that arrives in a room … names and firstnames. I want to record their name in a database to be sorted alphabetically and then when, i need it, i want to action a kind of wheel of fortune that will turn and point out a name randomly from the database . This name will be shown on screen and that’s it …

Sounds like a scary Movie… :grin:

Different approaches from the top of my mind

  • If this is a onetime scenario you don't even need a database. Just store the info in the app / browser (LocalStorage). I just put the following "hammer" together and therefor every problem currently looks like a"nail" to me :wink:
  • If you need a database you need to run a server and a server side language.

could be fun … but in fact it s a communication exercise for young disabled people … we train them to be involved in communication when they are not ready to do it naturally …

Hey @MaxZieb, have you worked with Atomic yourself? Would you recommend something else for basic persistent storage now?

... is just for the AJAX-part that request json or something else ...

fetch should be easy and fine too ...
