+A freely licensed Visual Analog Scale implemented in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
\ No newline at end of file
+
+## Ideals
+- focus on simplicity and practicality
+    - response input as close to paper versions as possible
+    - data export as a simple list, or CSV file, maybe "share" button (if run on Android?)
+    - make expandable somehow? (At least Icons/Emojis should be easily swappable)
+- should operate on all relevant mobile devices / browsers
+- use GitLab Pages for self-use and showcase
+- freely licensed: CC-BY (-> code made from scratch / compatible sources)
+
+## UI ideas
+- Use JS to register tap on the scale, show fading dot.
+  As soon as it faded away, the response is set; this method obviates need for a button "OK that's response".
+- The results should show up as they arrive, either on a separate (swipe-able?) page or just by scrolling down (out of view for the subject).
