To help poll a group of people and figure the ranking of options, we created deckrank.co. On deckrank you can create and share rank-based polls. Here’s what we used:

* Frontend: express web application framework and jade templates; bootstrap for stylesheets; jquery for form manipulation

* Backend: node.js, MongoDB

* Mailgun for sending emails

* We instrumented our website using Mixpanel and Google Analytics

* For source control and issue tracking we used BitBucket

* We bought our domain on namecheap for $9

* We minified our CSS and Javascript using Grunt

* Our editor for this project was Atom

* We’ve hosted our binary on DigitalOcean for $5/month

Main features:

* No signup

* Ability to rank options

* Users can optionally provide an email address to get the link to the poll for sharing, editing and viewing results

* Users can enable an option to disallow multiple votes from the same IP address

We focused a lot of time on the user experience especially on mobile. Let us know what you think!

How exactly did you test the usability?

The first thing i noticed was the checkbox label "Prevent duplicate votes?" was not clickable.

Good catch! We're fixing it so checkbox label is also clickable and will be pushing out the change shortly.

Could you share your browser and OS so we can troubleshoot?
