When I click on a question, I'd like to see a visualized graph of what others have chosen as an answer.

Not everyone wants to answer the question to see the opinion of everyone else (it's kind of like the person browsing for a new laptop based on other opinions, who first needs to give his/her opinion before he can see others).

You have a lot of space below the question, so get creative with graphs and visualizations, as that might keep eyes on the site longer).

Also, I agree with anigbrowl about the "upvote" thing. When you see few upvotes, you start to think not many people are using the site.

If you want to adjust that, make the "80 people answered" more prominent. Use things like colours for trending questions.

Eg. 50 people answered = green (question is building)

500 people answered = red (question is "hot"/trending)

TBCH, your app kind of seems like a feature for other products. As I understand, you can poll people on reddit as well, so you should look at the bigger picture from that POV about what your app is/does.

Oh and the bottom, I don't see why people would comment on a site like this, but who knows, the user may start commenting for discussion-like purposes.
