Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built DOLY Poll because I was genuinely frustrated with existing poll tools. Every time I wanted a quick poll — "What should we have for lunch?" or "Which design do you prefer?" — I'd run into the same walls: • StrawPoll keeps pushing you to create an account • Google Forms is overkill for a simple yes/no question • Most poll UIs look like they haven't been updated since 2012 So I built something with one goal: absolute zero friction. Here's what DOLY Poll does differently: ⚡ 3-second creation — Type question, add options, done. No signup. 📊 Real-time animated results — Votes animate as they come in via SSE (Server-Sent Events). It's oddly satisfying to watch. 📱 Mobile-first — 80%+ of votes happen on phones. The UI is designed for thumbs, not mice. 🎨 Cinema Dark UI — Clean, modern, easy on the eyes. 📷 Share as image — Download your results as a PNG with a nice bar chart. Perfect for posting on Twitter/Instagram. 📲 QR codes — Print it, show it on a screen, great for classrooms and events. 🗂️ Categories + search — Browse and discover trending polls. 💬 Comments — Discuss results right on the poll page. The tech: React + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind on the frontend, PocketBase for the backend (Realtime SSE for live updates), hosted on AWS S3 + CloudFront. Everything is free. No premium tier. No "pay to unlock results." I'm monetizing with tasteful AdSense placement that doesn't get in the way of voting. I'd love to hear: → What feature would make you switch from your current poll tool? → Would you use poll embedding on your blog or website?
