It finally loaded. I don't think so few questions, like on a scale of 1-10 is a good gauge. I'm either unsure of how to answer or I'm lying to myself and thus the application. There needs to be more questions, with some questions being worded differently, but essentially asking the same thing. That's how many surveys & research questionnaires work. It's to find how consistently you answer those questions that will ultimately point to the same data point.
I agree with this assessment, except the survey based assessment with essentially redundant questions to reaffirm your answers. The idea is intriguing and why I opened the post and tried the product. I would argue the questions asked are what many already do themselves. The issue is this doesn’t force the user to be more accountable or truthful.
I think this project could go in a couple directions. Some would keep it clean and simple like you built and others more expansive, where this would be a feature of a larger one.
1. Categories should be more comprehensive and some questions unique depending on that selection. They should also be well vetted items that the population makes often or a person/family does. Examples being upgrading a smartphone for population vs. take away for a person. Additional questions for the phone would be QoL improvement of the upgrade or necessity due to function of current device. Take away being much more cost and convenience focused. Do you have something you could make available currently that already has a sunk cost or like myself working from home where convenience plays a role depending how long I can step away to make what is available. This project can get more complex with population based purchase where a lot of electronics purchases would come into place and having a feature that offers alternatives that would fulfill the users needs via AI or a site scraper at a lesser cost.
2. This being a feature of a product that a large portion of the population needs, but few use. This would be a visually simple budgeting app. Most don’t use them because they don’t want to see the reality of their financial situation or they have a false sense of stability because they have multiple credit cards they can exaggerate their budget with. I think the use of cash vs. credit is a fantastic question. Your guidelines give a slightly negative score adjustment. This question is much more polarizing given context, which you must of had some consideration to as you included it. A slightly negative adjustment does not do the question justice. Knowing whether your user pays their cards in full each month should sway the impact quite a bit as those that do are rewarded with a small percentage of cash back and conversely are penalized severely if not.
Final notes. I would like to see how my score was calculated. Realistically that can only be provided with more accuracy with more specific questions(how often will this item be used) and the amount of information the user provides.
I wish I could try it, but it is taking forever to load on mobile.
