# Compass

> A three-axis political compass test at compass.serrato.us: 46 statements scored on economic, civil, and societal axes, plotted on a shareable compass chart.

Compass is a modernized, dependency-free fork of SapplyValues. The statements come from the Sapply political compass test; the one-statement-per-screen flow descends from 8values. Everything is scored client-side in the browser - there are no analytics, cookies, accounts, or third-party requests. Results are encoded entirely in the results-page URL (parameters right, auth, and prog, each from -10 to +10), so sharing a result is just sharing a link. A downloadable PNG share card is generated locally with the Canvas API. Built and maintained by P. Sergio Serrato (https://serrato.us). MIT licensed.
