Ask HN: Should I create a COVID-19 impact survey?

1 points by matthodan 6y ago ↗ HN

I thought it would be good to survey the HN community each week as COVID-19 plays out to track sentiment as we all face new challenges from COVID-19. To that end, I was hoping to recruit the community to develop a list of questions. Please respond with questions (must be multiple choice) that you would like included and upvote the best ones. I’ll provide a few examples shortly, though anything is fair game.

If people think this is a good idea, please upvote the thread and add questions. If this gets traction, I will post a survey with the highest ranked questions each Monday for several weeks to collect feedback.

If anybody has a good tech for hosting the survey, please send me a note on Twitter (@matthodan). Otherwise, I’ll likely just use Google Forms.
