Really nice! I really appreciate the focus on good design and clear presentation of data. Something seeming this "simple" is not actually simple! Well done. I spend most of my life considering online tools for consensus building, and this is one of the more innovative and well executed I have seen. I would love to see modules for this kind of non-binary polling in our open source decision-making tool[0]. I have never been a fan of straight polling because it misses some critical aspects of the discussion by pre-supposing the options, and most issues are not best approached with a conflict-based method of "A vs B, one wins". In fact the real answer is often a synthesis or evolution beyond where anyone started. Many of our users have requested polls to do temperature checks or decide quickly between options, but I have resisted because I don't want to flatten discussions into only a limited set of options that might leave out important aspects. I much prefer your approach! [0] http://www.loomio.org http://www.loomio.org

!! First, Amen. Second, just seeing loomio for the first time - could you create a pol.is account and message us? Would be great to share ideas.
- loomio 12y ago
  Yes! I would love to get in touch and talk more. I will contact you directly. Best of luck with pol.is! The world really needs better ways to make decisions and we're going to need all kinds of complementary tools.

    Is Loomio also embeddable and accessible through an API?
    - loomio 12y ago
      Not at the moment, but it's something we're working toward! We will have an API later this year, and embeddable Loomio decisions is on our roadmap.[0] Of course as an open source project, if you had a strong use case you are more than welcome to jump in and build what you need it to do!
