Hey Product Hunt, I’m Blake, the founder of Ripoll.

Ripoll is a social media platform where every post is a poll. It’s built to make public opinion more accessible, more structured, and less chaotic than what we see on traditional social platforms. Users vote, compare opinions, and explore communities called Circles - each one centered around different topics and ideas.

We launched this week on the App Store, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see people not just download the app, but actually post their own polls and participate in conversations. I built Ripoll because I believe structured, transparent polling can give people a clearer voice - especially at a time when opinions often get lost in noise or filtered through engagement-driven algorithms.

Our long-term vision is to create a platform where users can express themselves through votes, guide conversations with data, and shape the app’s future together. We’re working toward a fully adjustable, user-facing algorithm - one where you control what you see, not a hidden AI trying to maximize your screen time.

We plan to monetize through sponsored polls - letting brands pay to “pin” polls across the app, with premium placements like the home feed. Once a user answers a sponsored poll, it disappears, leading to higher-quality engagement and cleaner UX. A portion of revenue will go toward a creator fund to reward poll creators and, eventually, commenters too.

Since Ripoll is fully bootstrapped and built through solo development, we’re not driven by investor pressure or short-term monetization goals. That gives us the freedom to prioritize what’s best for users - not shareholders. Our focus is on building something sustainable, transparent, and community-first, and we’re committed to giving back to the people who help shape it.

I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, and questions. Thanks for checking out Ripoll - I’m excited to build this alongside the community.
