This is a great tool but the interface are a bit simplistic, the the point that it distracts from the utility. I assume you know this though.
It wasn’t clear to me that the grade at the top changes as you choose options. Most tools would show the score at the end of the process. I scrolled to the end and then hit the email sign up, as if it was the button to see results.
I’d suggest to make it impossible to select mutually exclusive options. For example, selecting that the record is still sealed cuts out a lot of the questions, but there is no indication in the interface.
a sealed record can be in poor condition in a number of unexpected ways. sealedness is only an indication of 0 uses (most of the time), not of a perfect life
I’m sure that’s true, but the questions about things like playback and visual inspection for scratches obviously cannot apply if you have never opened the record. The questions about warping and condition of the packaging still apply.
In particular, shrink-wrap sealed records from the 70s, when exposed to heat from storage or from direct sunlight, can warp the hell out of the record and sleeve as the shrink contracts and expands. I would even say this is a common problem for sealed records of that era.
