THIS IS SO COOL! I love the concept even if the sample size isn’t the best yet. Couple of UX suggestions if you’re looking for any.

The slider was a bit too easy to select. Meaning, I went to slide my answer and it would submit the middle option or one slight off center because it was too sensitive. Adding to that, it did let me submit my answer more than once which would probably skew the data if you were actually trying to analyze it.

I liked the ability to change colors of the answers, but some of them in the middle ranges became difficult to identify on the map. Specifically any light green or blues as they blend in with the globe.

I felt myself wanting a numeric scale associated with the slider or something like “never, sometimes, always” to quantify the respective slider placement.

Last, may have missed this, but I’d love an option to see what others in my target demographic selected.

Sorry if you were not looking for suggestions but I just had so much fun picking my answers and surfing the globe, I think this is a fantastic idea! I hope you continue expanding on it.

Edit: the “voters” tab is really neat! Would love a drop down or modal option to view that info for each question. I have a very basic knowledge of development so I know this is all much easier said than done, but kudos all around on this project!

Thanks for the detailed feedback!! I'll definitely make some changes based on it.

Vote slider: I'm considering adding a cancel button for the user to remove their vote, but voting multiple times isn't an issue - at the end of a slider movement, the user's anonymous profile is updated (max 1 vote gets counted per user)

Colors: good call, I'll change the color pool to avoid clashing with the map.

Slider scale: that could help a lot. I'll try to put something there and see if it makes things too crowded/info dense.

Demographics: I've got the code ready to go for per-demographic stats! The site started with stats and one map data layer per demographic but that scales badly with the number of questions. I removed both at the same time, but I can easily re-add stats.
