It looks lovely, however there are a few things I'd change You need to create a wordpress widget for the polls as they don't work with the standard text box - and you can't really afford to lose WP users The first couple of times I clicked the first option the green bar would go across and then back to 0, it was only after I'd clicked on the second option that votes for the first option "stuck". I'm not sure you need to waste the real estate by giving the name of the person who added the option - except, perhaps, if it was a different person to the poll starter There should be alternate colour schemes, yours looks ok on my blog but it won't suit all of them Questions: when I embedded the poll in my blog and then added an option it gave my name. Is it matching on IP address, cookies or something else? will I be able to see who has voted for each option?
Hi thanks for your feedback. The iFrame Problem is fixed now, so the integration should work better now. The Problem is known and we try to fix it We use the Browsers Localstorage to store who you are. We once had a version, where you could see who voted for what, but we decided to not show this information.
That's cool. The resizing is working well. I just opened my site in different browsers and had another look. It was a bit slow to load but my feedback relates to the request for the user's name BEFORE they even know if they want to participate in the poll. I'd wait until they've read the poll, viewed the choices and committed to voting to ask them their name. If I'm wildly optimistic and expect to have hundreds of respondents I'm not sure there is any value in letting them select from the names already given. I'd like the option to not show my name by each option turn off the ability to add a new option - I'm just imagining the mischief kids could get up to
The idea behind out tool, is it that everyone can add suggestions. So it's more of a brainstorming tool rather than a polling tool. As for the mischief, if you have the admin link you can delete unwanted options. But I totally get your point, nobody has time to constantly check if something bad is going on. We might consider adding this functionality (to block new suggestions), in the future (so the admin can define if new options are allowed or not). The possibility of letting you select a user, we added this so you can cast votes as yourself even when you're on another computer. This allows for easy cheating, but this tool is mostly intended for people you trust that won't cheat. We have noted all your feedback, and might add some options where you can configure this stuff when creating a poll. But a thing we always want to keep is the simplicity, at the moment creating a poll is as simple as it gets. Adding more options only makes it more complicated, so we have to weigh this in. But again, thanks a lot for your feedback.
And that's really the big challenge. I work on a system where the users want it to be simple, but they want it to be flexible. There comes a point where you can't have both.
I find it hard to read the thin-glyph webfont, you used pixel metric fonts so they aren't auto-enlarging which sends me diving for the zoom, and your sub-elements on the page are a fixed width which is also accessibility rubbish. The off-cyan you are using is too bright a background for white text so that too fails to meet accessibility norms, and you are using placeholder to do a label's job so you also are flipping the bird at users by way of "false simplicity". Under the hood it's a train-wreck of scripttardery -- whilst expected of an ACTUAL application you didn't make an ACTUAL application, you made a website... so follow the rules of a website or at least TRY and make it usable without scripting first! It just reeks top to bottom of an ignorance of HTML and a nasty case of "WCAG, what's that?!?"
