A voting method that would be really helpful is a sliding scale that not only lets a participant drag a slider on a scale of agreement, for example, but also shows a group average on the when presenting results.

Thanks so much for this suggestion — this is a great example! We’re currently working on brainstorming and also looking at what poll types could be meaningful to add next, and sliding scales are definitely one of the options we’re exploring.
The idea of showing the group average alongside responses is especially interesting 👍
If you’re happy to share a bit more, it would really help us:
-
What kind of meetings would you mostly use sliding scales in?
-
What sort of questions would you typically ask with them?
-
Would this be mainly for live interaction or also surveys / async?
Really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us!

Scale-based feedback is one of the areas we'd like to explore as we think about new poll types. That could be a sliding scale, a matrix-style question, or another format that helps compare several items or attributes in one place.
If you have examples of the questions you'd want to ask with this, please share them here. It helps us understand what shape would be most useful.
Hi Adam,
Great to hear the idea is being explored more! To provide more context:
-
What kind of meetings would you mostly use sliding scales in? Collaborative workshops
-
What sort of questions would you typically ask with them? Could be anything where the answer isn’t binary. eg. something as simple as “how are you feeling today?”. Or for something more extensive there could be a list of service providers and you ask people to move a sliding scale based on how satisfied they were with each service. If you could view this on one page/screen/mobile, then you can quickly get an idea of who provides a better service.
-
Would this be mainly for live interaction or also surveys / async? All of the above.
I hope this helps!
Thanks
