I don't think lack of real "chat" is a problem, as long as you are clear about it.

for me the real attraction was that this looks like a more fun way to answer boring survey questions, and thus hopefully higher percentage of people will complete the survey.

Best of luck, and i'll be following how this progresses!

This was my sentiment exactly when I first showcased on IndieHackers. Seems like a faster way to complete surveys although I am wondering if you'll be integrating keypress based responses any time soon so I can just quickly select my responses - having a more controlled UI seems quicker than trying to use a mouse to hit a target area.
Did you actually try the live version? 3 or 4 questions took way longer than had they all been presented.

I like the idea, but actually using it was a bit frustrating IMO.

I did but I guess I didn't fully create an actual survey - was mostly test questions.

What did you find was frustrating about it? I felt the UI gave it a fresh approach to completing surveys plus the clicking areas are all fairly close.

Mainly waiting for the questions and answers. It took me 1 minute to answer something that could have been answered in ~10 seconds tops. And I didn't know if I had to answer 2 or 200 questions, so a few more and I would have given up.

This is our thoughts exactly! Thanks for the kind words.
