FEATURE: Analysis made it to GitHub

[tillsanders]

The analysis feature lived on my hard drive for a while. It's been used in production for the elections in Northrhine-Westphalia but needed some clean-up and of course, documentation. I finally found the time to give this feature the needed attention and used the opportunity to extract some components into a separate UI repository. Thos components are now properly documented and tested.

But let's talk about the new feature:

The analysis feature supports collecting data for scientific research through an opt-in tool. When the results are presented, a small window will nicely ask users to donate their data – anonymously – to science. With the click of a button, the data is transmitted to a backend for storage.

• Answers given, including the factor (the important setting)
• The results for every party, including the state of selection

Additionally, users can answer more questions to further qualify the dataset. Whenever they answer another question, an updated dataset will be sent to the backend. That way, users don't have to answer all questions.

• Age
• Gender
• Education
• Voting intention

This catalogue of questions can be adapted to your needs. Though at the moment you'll need a developer to do that as there is no configuration support, yet. In the meantime, you can also provide a link to a follow-up questionnaire. After all of the above questions are answered, users can follow the link to your custom questionnaire to provide even more insight.
