We should first verify that KaiOS can run quicksurveys using https://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Spain?quicksurvey=true

It works on both my Jio2 and Nokia 8110 4G devices.

[...] where the link is to the KaiOS app download

The app is available in the JioStore for the indian market and will be in the KaiStore for the rest of the world in two weeks (fingers crossed) or so. We can link to the app in the KaiStore but not in the JioStore so we may need to be more granular with the UA regexp to target only those devices using the KaiStore.

Note there is a large performance penalty when running a QuickSurvey: T159738
The request here however is pretty straightforward. Having added acceptance criteria.

Would it be possible to run a quick survey in only a specific country or
set of countries?

Estimate it for adding this capability.

@ovasileva @AMuigai If we plan to run the QuickSurvey for longer than several weeks, T159738 should be considered a blocker for running the survey as it would add a performance penalty for all mobile users, not just KaiOS users.

hi @phuedx - after the last round of code review, I uncovered a bug with the simple regex which left me wondering if it makes sense to incorporate a proper UA parser library like https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js.

It might be overkill for the current request, but it could help in the future for more granular targeting?

If the regex is a problem, perhaps we should use an enumerated type that maps to regexs. For this particular task we need the ability to target KaiOS so I'd assume to start with good configurations would be firefox, chrome, safari, kaios . This would also put less burden on the person setting up the survey. What do you think?

thanks @Jdlrobson -- I do have a regex tester function set up for the basics (kaios, chrome, edge, safari, firefox, etc) in the patch which seems to work according to my non-exhaustive testing. I am likely making this more complicated by throwing out the question of using an external library. I think for now, the simple regex map will do the trick. In the future however, if more granular targeting for surveys is desired, we probably should consider using a proper parser lib.

Agreed. I recommend creating a task to capture this work so that it can be discussed, prioritised, and worked on whenever it is needed.
