Yeah, that bothered me a little. I was expecting something like interesting lesser-known features of popular standalone tools, from command line tools to plugins for text editors and IDEs. Instead it felt more like sponsored ads loosely presented as a quiz.
I probably wouldn't mind so much if the examples were then discussed. I might have missed it, but I couldn't even find a "read more" link about any of the products so if I hadn't heard of the examples then I've gained nothing from the exercise.
- k__ 10y agoThere are two links on every answer. One to a StackShare profile and one to the website of the product.
- laumars 10y agoYou're right, my apologies. It still might have been nice to have a little information on the quiz answers though. It breaks the flow of the site if I constantly have to navigate away just to find a summary of the product. The questions are pretty vague a lot of the time and often full of marketing double talk, so you don't glean much new information from the quiz site itself. However I do understand and agree with having those links for contestants who wish to learn more than a summary about any specific product.
- k__ 10y agoYes, I think so too. It already crawls the tags from stackshare, so it could also crawl the description.
- yonasb 10y agoGood idea! We originally had the descriptions there for the options but that gave away the answer. Showing the description once you answer would be helpful, we'll add that.
