I used to do the same thing but I got tired of doing that (and they didn’t always respond with the details, but often with another request). Now I just send them to https://polyfill.work.

They have to enter pay, etc. and if it’s a fit for me I’ll hear about it.

(Disclaimer: I made polyfill and it’s a work in progress but I’m looking for feedback on the developer onboarding part so let me have it if it sucks!).

I don’t send them my polyfill profile page because then they’ll have my email and uuid and I want polyfill profiles to be pseudo anonymous.




I got curious, but even after reload it won’t go past step 4


Thanks for giving it a go! I’ll check sentry, etc. to see if there’s anything obvious.

On the off chance you see this reply: what browser/device were you using?

I also see that step 4 is the first multiple choice question, so it doesn’t auto-scroll to the next question (you have to hit “next” to move on).

It’s not obvious. Perhaps the culprit here is just bad UI.


Right on

- Device is an iPad running iOS 13.5

- I tried a bunch of things on Q4 both while selecting multiples and selecting a single answer:

  - Trying to scroll "past" it to push through any CSS padding issues
  - Trying to tap the next button
  - Toggling through different states to see if the button changes in any way to see if there is JS with a logic bug (spoiler: while the button did show up as expected, nothing changed it's colour or otherwise indicated that it was clickable. Holding the button just caused text on the page to be selected which confirmed that the button did not have the ability to be clicked)
  - Reloading the page
  - Choosing different answers for Q1-Q3


Dang, that's annoying, sorry about that! And thanks for checking it out so thoroughly. I queued this up and my friend or I will get to it soon. Really appreciate the QA :D

If you want a heads up when it's fixed you can email me at team at polyfill dot work. I will only email you once: when the bug is fixed!
