Neat site. One more angle I didn't think about until recently was buying a USB-C cable that was magnetic/breakaway to minimize port wear on a laptop that only has one usb c/thunderbolt.
I spend a bit of time around quizzing and surveying, that brain enjoyed this quiz and the following ideas popped to mind.
- Like the big font. Could be even a bit bigger. Playing with centering could help draw attention down a bit easier.
- Try removing the next button for single choice options. Button can stay for multiple buttons. If you imagine it on a mobile device, if it's just making one selection, it is confirmation enough most of the time if you want more people to be able to get through to the end quickly, or perhaps have more clicks left in their attention to go back and try different scenarios. Having a next button is nice for summative testing in online courses to confirm your answer, but here it might be low risk enough to be able to go back and adjust if needed.
- On the results page - I'm guessing more will come here but showing me a summary of what I entered, and the cables that came up, and retailers I can get it from might be interesting.
- The progress bar is helpful to know. If you like playing with them, progress bars with circles for each step/stage could allow you to put a graphic of a laptop, phone, or a USB_A connector on end perhaps. Going through the questions made me think about "building your wire/use case" to see the options.
- If by chance you are considering leaving this up as a possible side-hustle to help people shortlist their cable, in exchange for offering an affiliate link, it would be helpful to consider getting them through as few clicks for their benefit as possible, and if that works and if you have repeat visitors, perhaps consider asking them to subscribe to an email list to keep in the loop for updates.
- What kind of updates, Decision models are fun times. Bonus points could exist offering to earn visitors email address by offering to update visitors by email if other options become available for their choices. A bit more work here to save their answers but hey. An offer to notify them of price drops (via camelcamelcamel) or things being in stock could be useful to some too for folks looking to replace more usb-a cables than they realize.

This is a horrific idea if you care about your devices; they can detach and become misaligned, applying Vbus to pins that are definitely not capable of handling 20 V.
In terms of caring about my devices it’s the other way around. While I’m gentle, Apple stopped caring about longevity for the latest and most thinnest. Maybe the current gen will finally outdo the peak of 2014 MBP.
After a number of laptops, it starts to feel like you’re buying another premature death of a new laptop instead of a new laptop.
Have hopes for the new series. Maybe in a year or two.
