Split Poll into Two Pages with Configurable Timers

[silasjoisten]

Description:

It would be a great enhancement to introduce the ability to split the poll across two pages, allowing a more interactive and timed experience for users.

Proposed Feature:

1. First Page (Question and Body):

   • Display the question with a body (e.g., a code block or additional context) without showing the choices yet.

   • Example:

     What's wrong in the following code?

     thow new Exception();

   • Allow a configurable timer (e.g., 10 seconds) before moving to the second page.

2. Second Page (Choices):

   • After the timer on the first page expires, automatically move to the second page where the user is presented with the poll choices.
   • This page also has a configurable timer (e.g., 5 seconds) before the poll closes and shows the results.

3. Poll Closing and Result Display:

   • Once the second page's timer ends, the poll automatically closes, and results are displayed.

Use Case:

This feature will help keep the polls short, structured, and engaging. It allows users to focus on understanding the question first before making a decision, ensuring a better flow for polls that involve more complex questions or contextual information (like a code block).

Benefits:

• Provides a clear separation between presenting a problem and answering it.
• Creates a more dynamic and time-controlled poll experience.
• Helps users focus on the question first without being distracted by the choices.
• Ensures that polls are kept short and concise by setting configurable timers for both question and answer stages.

Suggested Configuration:

• Question Page Timer: Default to 10 seconds but configurable by the user.
• Choices Page Timer: Default to 5 seconds but configurable by the user.

This feature would improve engagement and streamline the polling process, keeping users attentive and ensuring concise timing for each phase of the poll.
