Live poll for a class or club
Ask a question, share a link or a short code, and watch the votes come in live on the big screen. Great for a class, a club meeting or picking the next event.
The problem this solves
Hands in the air are hard to count, and a poll in a group chat gets buried. A quick vote everyone joins from their phone, with results that move as people answer, keeps the room engaged.
What you end up with
You create a question with a few answers. People open the link or type the code and tap an answer; the result bars move on everyone's screen as votes arrive. Close the poll when you're done, and the result stays.
How it works
- You write a question and its answers.
- Share the link or the short code; no account needed to vote.
- Each person votes once, and the results update live on every screen.
- A big-screen view shows the results to the room.
- Close the poll to stop voting; the results stay.
Build this in your app
Insight asks a few questions first, so it fits your app.
Built from
Realtime (live updates, chat, presence)
PlatformAdd live features that update the moment something changes, with no refresh, like chat, typing indicators, a live 'who is online' list, and instant notifications. DontCode runs the live connection for you, so there is nothing to set up or keep running.
Key-value store (shared temporary state)
PlatformOne shared place for the short-lived information your whole app needs to agree on, like login sessions, one-time codes, game lobbies, or a live 'who is online' list. Every copy of your app sees the same data the moment it changes, it can expire on its own, and there are no servers for you to run. For anything that must be kept permanently, use the database.
Data, your live rows like a spreadsheet
DatabaseSee and edit your app's real data like a spreadsheet. Open tables side by side in tabs, search and filter them, and fix a value in place. Changes wait until you press Apply, then all of them are saved or none are, so your live data is never left half-edited. Every row keeps a history of who changed what, and you can download any view as a CSV file. Removing someone from your list of users also removes their account, so only owners and admins can do it.
