How it works
- Give a question, the choices (up to 50) and an optional pre-selected default.
- If nobody answers before the timeout, one minute by default, the default is used; with no default the step fails.
- While a game or full-screen app is in front, a short list becomes notification buttons and a longer one gets an Answer button that opens the list.
- It passes on the chosen item and its position in the list.
