Card sorting by Ballpark — Improve UX by watching how users organise information
Ballpark card sorting is a simple, hands-on way to see how people naturally organise information. Participants sort labelled cards into groups that make sense to them, giving you valuable insights to create a structure that feels intuitive and easy to navigate

So rad! I made a similar app in 2004 (in Flash, it was called MindCanvas). Don't get sucked into building generic survey features, sick with the special question types you have developed is my advice. Ballpark looks really great.

Congrats on the launch! Card sorting is a great function. However, the visualization of results is a bit hard to read. Try using a clustering plot, where the distance between two dots indicates their similarity. It allows people to perceive results much easier, compared to tables. Also, uncovering groups and outliers will become a natural consequence of the visualization.
I reckon that you have some sample of people who are tested, right? According to what do you pick them up and how many participants do you have from each continent? (or from the biggest countries)?
@busmark_w_nika We do! We have a panel of over 3m people worldwide, plus you can also test with your own users. The biggest countries are USA (1.3m), UK (400k), Brazil (340k)
@mutlu82 I am a great patron of the Marvel App. It spoilt me to such an extent that I never ever tried Figma. Is this product feature of card sorting in any way going to be integrated into Marvel?
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Card sorting is a great way to understand how users think. Have you found it helpful for any specific types of websites or apps?
@ihuzaifashoukat It's great for anything you're designing such as organising information, grouping content, prioritise features, structuring menus etc
