Here are some more thoughts on this: The idea is super simple and although technically trivial, it works extremely well for Dan (@danariely). We have ideas on how to expand this but first we'd like to know if someone else might find this useful too.

I really like the multiple choice functionality. This would be great for designers and asking quick questions that need a simple response. Is there a way to use Shortwhale on outbound email to someone who doesn't use it yet?
