Add +/- buttons to integer question type

[alyblenkin]

Problem

We've heard a lot of feedback around making it easier and more intuitive to count things. For example, if you want to count turtle eggs, trash, or plants it would be efficient to use a +/- button than to manually enter the number.

Solution

• For integer questions, we want simple buttons on the right and left of the screen so it's easy to access
• Large enough hit target without taking up too much vertical space
• It will only increase by one for now, and we are not allowing negative numbers

Future considerations

• Allow negative numbers
• Consider how a user might reset
• How this might work for adding a range
• Long press to increase by increments of 10 or something
• Haptic feedback would be an interesting next step

Should this change the default integer question or add a new appearance like counter for example which would display that question type in the described way? I thought that it would be a new appearance but now I'm not sure reading the issue.

It should be a new appearance! I agree that counter feels like it's non-controversial.
