Hey Product Hunt! A big thank you to @de for hunting Fast Poll! Sooo a little about the project - 🤔Why I created it: Working remotely in a team of 20+ I've recently wanted to post a question or an idea and get feedback from the team. I've found some sites that did just that but they was either missing some functionality, required signup or the general UX I wasn't really a fan of. So I got started. 🚀 ⏰How long did it take: I was aiming at 30 days to launch the MVP it took me around 45 days in total to get to the current MVP this is outside of my 9-5 job working evenings and weekends. 👨‍💻Features worth mentioning: Private or public polls - You have this option when creating a poll. Private is where it won't be shown on the site and won't be indexed by search engines (ideal for my use case where I just want feedback from a select group of people I share the url with). Public polls will be show in the public polls section of the site, the users profile and will be indexed by search engines. Realtime voting - No need to refresh the page to see votes cast. User profiles - Grab your username and have a home for all your polls like https://fast-poll.com/Jamie Dashboard - A place for you to have an overview of your private and public polls. 🚀Future updates to come: More control and visibility of your polls from an improved dashboard (I wanted to do this for launch but also wanted/needed to stick to an MVP initially). Comments on polls so a user (if they wish) can explain their voting choice. Possible team accounts to lock down polls to a single group of invited users. Improved stats, showing busy polls, votes cast with possible weekly roundup emails. If you have any questions please do ask I would love to answer them and any and all feedback would be much appreciated!

@jamiepeak No problem, Jamie! I love the simplicity of this, one thing I think that would make it even better would be the option to have an 'other' option with space for people to add their own answer in a text field. Same for categories, allowing me to create a custom one would be ace! Other than that, it's perfect!

I think options should be slightly smaller. Too big now.

Pros:

Free.

Well designed.

No membership required.

Cons:

Limited types of categories.

No multiple selection.

Thanks so much for the review Kemal! Dynamic categories and multiple selection on a poll and 100% on the roadmap. 🙂

Very useful, great work.. As you've said there are tools out there but not for quick/small surveys... I'm sure I will use at some point

Cool product @jamiepeak - good to see a fellow Brit on here. One thought, and something that will be easier to do overtime, would be to offer curated polls based on what people want to do. So, your example of idea feedback - would be great to have a ready made template to use/modify

@jjay thanks for the feedback. I really like the idea of having pre built templates that people can just adapt easily. I’ll be sure to add this my todo list. 🙂

Congrats on the launch Jamie! The site was very well designed and easy to use. I wish you the best 🙂 I noticed someone asking if the polls were embeddable, I think that would be really neat!

Jey @jamiepeak I am glad someone finally decided to make an alternative to strawpolls! I think you created a thing of beauty. If I had to suggest one thing, it is moving as much as visual clutter below the fold — so visitors can focus on the poll. Or just scroll to poll upon visit. Some people (like me) use cookie notifications blockers and the way you implemented your notice make your website appear unresponsive to input. Granted, it is a minority. I hope your polls are here to stay!

@lebaux Hey Pierre thanks so much for you kind comments! Fast Poll is definitely here to stay and I'm currently working on the next feature update. I'm really excited by the response to Fast Poll which just motivates me to improve and push even better updates to the site. Be sure to keep an eye on Fast Poll over the coming months! 🙂
