I Used Drupal Core and the Form API to Build a Mind Reading Machine
summary
Builds a survey app on Drupal 8 Core and Form API that serves random idea pairs from node fields, records votes and intensity, and saves results to a custom table keyed by UUID. Uses hidden fields and JS workaround to avoid Form API rebuilds (captures clicked pair IDs, submits via jQuery), adds a honeypot spam trap, and manages caching and validation. Outputs priorities and comparative factors to a dashboard rendered with the Google Charts API, demonstrated with live demo data.
