I can't believe that a simple uncontrolled poll of only 29 users is meaningful to you to base
your product planning around it. I bet that only those who are emotionally invested will
bother to vote and most everyone else will ignore the poll. It's meaningless data.

It's like asking a 29 people what food they like and opening a restaurant menu based on
that. I think you're better off to rely on your vision, business and marketing expertise than
these useless polls.
