About




Hi I'm Allan Ebdrup
I'm the owner of Copenhagen Code. I've created obsurvey, and it's still in beta, that's why it's free.

Obsurvey is an online tool for conducting your own online surveys, with your own questions.

The idea is that you:

  1. Create you own survey right here on this website, using the obsurvey tool.
  2. When you have created your survey, you are given a link to a webpage (a URL). You can send this link in an email, to the people you want to answer your survey.
  3. The people you have sent the link to, click the link and answer your survey.
  4. When the people have answered your survey, you come back to this website and see an automatically generated report of what was answered.

I hope you will enjoy using obsurvey. Try it out and let me know.

If you want to know more about me, see my public LinkedIn profile.

Vision: A survey in 5 minutes

I want you to have an incredibly easy time using obsurvey. You should only have to spend 5 minutes creating an average survey.

For that reason I continually test obsurvey on average users. And contiunually improve the already unique user experience of obsurvey for the better.

I listen to you. If you send me an email, I always respond.
If you register as a user of obsurvey, and choose to recieve emails form Copenhagen Code, you will be invited to vote on what features to include in upcoming releases of obsurvey.

Obsurvey can handle thousands of answers

I've build obsurvey to handle quite a lot of survey responses. You can safely collect thousands of responses. Just promise not to sue me if anything goes wrong. If you plan to use it for tens or hundreds of thousands of answers, please drop me an email at allan@obsurvey.com first.

Contact

I would really like any feedback you may have on what you think of obsurvey, so I can improve it. Send me a message either in the feedback forum or by email.

Getting technical

I've written an article about undo functionality in web applications entitled Where did undo go?.

Obsurvey uses my Structured Active Rich Document (SARD) principles, that you can see in action when editing a survey's questions.

I have developed my own JavaScript framework I call Usablility is In the Application (UIA), for developing AJAX web applications. Basically the whole application consists of one single large javascript and some serverside webservices.
