Embeddable polls for bloggers and content curators! Please provide your valuable feedback

EDIT: The widget is not coming here for some reason. It works seamlessly with wordpress and tumblr though. To see it in action, please look here.


For the past few weeks I have been working on an idea to increase engagement on blog posts and collect feedback or take surveys. I’d like to like to tell you that I’ve made enough to give a demo of this project.

I started working on it a couple of months ago and made the site live on 11th November 2012 for the first time. The initial version of site allowed you to make an account and ask questions to your peers. All the questions were listed on the front page and that is how it worked. Not the most elegant design, I agree, but it let me do stuff and ask people for response. Gotta agree, I learned quite a bit. After my exams got over, I came back to Jaipur and started working seriously on it. After two days, I had gotten so far as to enable full featured embedding in to sites and blogs (like this!). Here is one example question :

After that, I pitched it to some of the people who I thought would like to use this kind of service. Response was generally positive, but this did not solve the problem which I really wanted to solve, remove the length of surveys and show one question at a time.

I don’t know about others, but seeing so many questions just overwhelms me! I just leave it. Even the emails containing a link of Survey Monkey get my rejection on the first look. Thus, looking at all these matters, I tried to make a survey widget which shows one question at a time. Here is how it looks :

So, right now, I am looking for people who can provide feedback to this. Should I continue with development? What features will you like to be added? Is it something valuable? Let me know in the comments below or on my twitter. Thanks! 🙂
