Hi! I’m doing some research on how people use screenshots on their phones.

I made a short anonymous survey that takes about 3–5 minutes. I’m interested in people’s actual habits, whether you regularly go back to your screenshots or completely forget about them.

Anyone 18+ who uses a smartphone is welcome to participate.

Survey:  Attached

Thanks for helping!

The survey is completely anonymous and takes around 10 minutes to complete. Your responses would make a valuable contribution to my research.

Thank you very much for your support! 🙏

We are doing commercial research for a possible small offline management/trading game. We want to understand games people already own before deciding what to build. There is nothing to buy or download.

If you are 18 or older and personally bought and played a PC or Steam Deck management/trading game in the last 12 months, you can answer this survey:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIY3fe8L5AJr9PQbDqa_nveHxftBEdwiDzvrkMVfDVYMG-QQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor

The survey has six optional questions about past game experiences, following eligibility/consent and a code you save for withdrawal. Positive and negative experiences are equally useful. Participation is voluntary and unpaid; there are no follow-up interviews or contacts. We will analyze at most the first eight eligible, consenting responses over up to seven days. Eligibility and purchases are self-reported; we cannot verify independent people.

Google Forms hosts the survey. OpenAI Codex helped draft it and will assist in reading and summarizing consenting responses. The full notice explains this processing, provider-record limits and deletion within 30 days for research responses in the Forms account we control. Please read it before agreeing. Do not include names, usernames, contact details, receipts, recordings or sensitive information. No email address or sign-in is requested by the survey.

Save your withdrawal code and this separate withdrawal link. It remains available after new survey answers close, until all responses reach their 30-day deletion deadline:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxFLRSbloJ9z3kXv2zFXx_MO_FjjvuMo2AiCKjsYQA_ZUPKA/viewform?usp=header

Please use the survey for answers; we are not collecting research responses in Reddit comments or DMs. Thanks for considering it.

Hi everyone! I'm a Bachelor's student in Communication Design, currently in my final year. I'm researching web design for neurodivergent users, hoping to understand design challenges in neurodivergent experiences.

I'm still in the early stages of this project, and my goal is for it to genuinely benefit the community it's about, not just function as an academic exercise. I'd also like it to serve as a useful starting point for other students or designers researching this space in the future.

I'd really appreciate any insight, lived experience, or feedback the community is willing to share. If anything in how I've framed this could be worded more thoughtfully, please don't hesitate to let me know, I'm here to learn. :) To make sharing your thoughts easier, I've put together a short form below.

That said, I completely understand if a form feels like more effort than it's worth, if you'd rather just chat casually instead, feel free to shoot me a DM here. Whatever's easiest for you works for me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you can offer!

Questa è un'indagine che intende raccogliere il punto di vista "informale" delle persone sulle questioni di genere, evocando situazioni di conversazione privata e non strutturata (quelle che, alla fin fine, costituiscono la cultura quotidiana in cui siamo tutti immersi).

Il questionario è in forma rigorosamente anonima e i dati saranno utilizzati, solo in forma aggregata, dal Centro Studi di Goodpoint nell'ambito delle attività di ricerca e divulgazione, per provare a rappresentare lo scenario in modo realistico e senza giudizio.

E' molto importante che tu risponda con totale onestà!

Grazie in anticipo.

Hi everyone! We’re 씨티, a student project team exploring how people find teammates and work together on competitions, hackathons, and side projects.

If you’ve ever wondered who would be a good person to work with, we’d love to hear how you made that choice and what the experience was like. Positive experiences are just as useful as difficult ones — you don’t need to have had a bad teammate to participate.

We’re using these experiences to decide what would actually be helpful to build for a university project. Could you spare about 5–7 minutes to tell us about your most recent project?

The survey is in Korean. Please participate only if you are aged 19 or older, are currently enrolled at university or on a leave of absence, and personally recruited or selected a teammate online within the last 12 months whom you had not worked with before. Automatically assigned class groups are excluded.

We do not ask for your name, university name, email, or teammates’ identities. Participation is voluntary. Please respond once and do not include identifiable details in free-text answers. Participant information and data retention dates are on the first page.

Hello community!

I am exploring the opportunity of gym wear made of natural fibers. If you go to the gym often your opinion matters to me and for this project.

I give you some context and the link attached to it. If you have any feedback on it feel free to share it.

Most sportswear today is made almost entirely from synthetic fibers - polyester, spandex - which shed microplastics with every wash and wear. I’m exploring a gym wear line made instead from natural fibers (organic cotton, merino wool), and I’d like to know your honest take.

It’s a 6-8 minute survey, completely anonymous, and there are no right answers - “I wouldn’t buy this” is just as useful to me as “I love it.”

https://delicate-bush-2a86.naturalsportswear.workers.dev/

Thanks so much, this genuinely helps to shape what actually gets made.

PA HELP GUYSSS HUHU😭🙏🏻 WE'RE STILL LOOKING 20 RESPONDENTS I'M ALSO OPEN FOR SURVEY EXCHANGE AND ALSO I WILL SHARE YOUR LINK TO MY FRIENDS💗

Thank you so much for helping us with our research! 🙏

Hey everyone! 👋

My team and I are building a project for a weekend hackathon, and we wanted to get some real feedback from people who actually use and care about water bottles.

The Problem: We noticed that people love their current bottles (Owalas, Stanleys, Yetis, etc.), but existing smart water bottles force you to buy an expensive, proprietary bottle. Plus, tracking water manually in an app always gets tedious after a week.

Our Idea: We're designing a universal "Smart Base", which is a small silicone attachment that slips onto the bottom of the water bottle you already own. It automatically tracks how much water you drink by weight and syncs right to your phone, keeping your favorite bottle fully intact.

We put together a super quick, 5-question survey (takes under 60 seconds) to see if this is an idea worth building out. It's completely anonymous and requires no login, and we arent selling anything to you.

If you have any thoughts, feature ideas, or think this is a terrible idea, please let us know in the comments too! We’d love to hear your feedback. Thank you!

Hi!

I need your help to get a good sample size for my study. I am conducting a survey study exploring the perceptions of CBD (cannabidiol) use in dogs amongst Australian vets and dog owners. *You do not have to have used CBD on your dog to partake in this study, but you do have to live in Australia*.

1. For Veterinarians: Exploring perceptions, clinical experiences, and barriers to CBD use in practice.  https://cityu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_esbOSx3AcTzvPam 
2. For Dog Owners: Gathering insights into awareness, usage reasons, and perceived effectiveness. https://cityu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b8jvdrZ4T5FvhUq 

The questionnaires have been refined through content and face validity indexing by Australian practitioners and pet owners, and the study has ethics approval from CityUHK.

Your participation in this study would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am a PhD researcher at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) investigating how software developers evaluate the quality of AI-generated code, how that shapes their trust, and how trust influences their decisions to use, revise, or discard the code. If you have experience using AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or Amazon CodeWhisperer, I would really appreciate your participation.

The survey takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes, and all responses are completely anonymous.

Survey link: https://qsurvey.qut.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_dmqXPhVQ2fO3jb8

This research has been approved by the QUT Human Research Ethics Committee. Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Thank you for your time.

Okayyyyy guys I think it’s finally time to share the data update from my survey!

When I first started this project, I didnt know how far it would go. What started as a curiosity about dreams has grown into 520 total survey responses from people ALL over the world. I currently have data for 486 responses and the patterns have been just… WOW.

THANK YOU so much if you took time out of your day to complete the survey and share your detailed experiences with me. I have decided to start writing a book about shared dream experiences and this data will help so much. Not only that- this project has helped me understand that there are other people like me. I’ll always be a weirdo but now I know I’m not alone in this. 😉

Feel free to share the survey and results!

Dream Experiences Survey Data

We’ve got a tiny lil’ survey for our project 👀

Basically, we’re tryna understand your social media habits, behaviour & how addicted we all are to scrolling 💀📱

Rebuilt this from scratch after some earlier version I posted here had a technical problem — should actually work now. Testing whether the music people keep coming back to (not just "genre") lines up with how they relate to others.

I’ve already heard from people in my immediate networks, and I’m now trying to broaden the range of perspectives represented.

The survey takes just 2 minutes:

passthemic.to/Latrel

Eligibility: U.S. adults ages 18–29
Purpose: Gathering Gen Z perspectives for the Pass the Mic to Gen Z initiative
Time: A few minutes

If you’re eligible and interested, I’d appreciate your perspective. Thanks!
