Using #1 for numbers is a common Americanism anyway, so it feels natural, but it usually means "first in the list" rather than numerically 1

<capjamesg> Oh I hadn’t considered internationalization [KevinMarks].

<capjamesg> There needs to be a universal way to submit a response to a poll.
#
[tantek]
does there? Twitter and IG examples would disagree
#
[tantek]
neither offer "translations" of poll items AFAIK
#
[tantek]
or if they do, are fully semi-automatic service-side, with zero work required on behalf of the author
#
[tantek]
(and thus zero publishing markup / complexity)

<capjamesg> Is a response like #1 easily understood across the world?

I don't really see use of "#1" in Twitter/IG polls so idk

the UX takeaway from https://indieweb.org/poll#Silo_Examples is that poll respondents don't type text at all, they just tap/click directly on their response, which definitely seems easier and more understandable
#

so capjamesg, straw man design: what if you have a button for each response, and clicking on one asks the user for their web site, IndieAuths, and sends a Micropub request that creates the fully formed post with that button's poll response?
#

you'd still have to figure out the contents of the response post, and how the receiving site interprets it, but the response post contents wouldn't be as much of a UX problem, since it's populated automatically
#

(we'd still want the response post to have good text-first design and be understandable to viewers, but that should be doable)

Exactly snarfed. And those different vote buttons could also be done as webactions for replies with prefilled content
#
[snarfed]1
yes!
