During discussion, the need for a litmus test / guiding FAQ for Pol.is, came up.
One that could help people who are interested in using Pol.is to figure out whether
- 🔧 it's the right tool for them,
- 💭 they have thought-out their use case,
- 🙈 they have a clear overview of the process,
- etc
Essentially a FAQ on steroids 🙂. Maybe even an attempt at semi-automated, early-stage facilitation ⚙️ 🙋 .
And why not a text adventure? 💬 🗨️
- 🧠 Brainstormed with @patcon on some good questions
-
(these ones)

- 💐 Bundled the questions together in themes and arranged them in a flow/decision tree (here)
-
(like this)

- 💬 The flow is slowly being turned into a text adventure, using the ink scripting language (here)
- More meaningful feedback to the user/player is needed at every step.
- E.g currently the player is asked Do you need to authorize users with a platform other than Facebook/Twitter? , the choice is saved for later use and the response is Great!.
- A better/more useful response would be e.g. That's great, but you should be aware that you need to host your own Pol.is instance, and put the necessary technical effort to integrate with your preferred authorization method etc
