Hey PH 👋 — maker here. The problem we kept running into: you're at a conference, a lecture, a town hall — the speaker asks "any questions?" and maybe 1 in 10 people raise a hand. Everyone else is already on their phone. So instead of fighting for attention, we hijacked it. HotSeat.im turns every phone in the room into a participation device. No app download, no signup, no login — participants scan a QR code, enter a 6-char room code, and they're in. Literally 5 seconds. The feature nobody else has: **Random Spotlight** 🔦 The host picks anyone, anytime. Their name hits the big screen, a 20s countdown starts, the whole room watches. It's not a quiz — it's accountability. Everyone is always potentially next. That tension? Kahoot can't create it. Beyond Spotlight: ⚡️ Live quizzes — MCQ, True/False, open text. CSV import or build on the fly. Speed + streak bonuses keep it competitive. 🏆 Selfie leaderboard — real faces on the scoreboard, not generic avatars. 🎉 Emoji reactions — floating live across every screen. 📸 Shareable recap card — auto-generated podium with top scorers, drops straight into the group chat. We're in public beta and the Free plan is genuinely unlimited — every core feature, no credit card. Would love feedback from anyone who's wrestled with dead-silent rooms. What broke your engagement at the last event you attended? 👇
