Show HN: GitHub user polls (markdown friendly)

github.com

Really nice idea and execution!

My two cents:

- IP restriction is not fair (lots of developers in big companies may vote only once because of their employer public IP)

- Is there a way to use your polls without having to install a software on my computer ? Like a webapp ?

Currently no webapp but I opened an issue for it :D, and I agree on the IP issue, I'll see if I can come up with something better there.

Optional GitHub OAuth to vote?

Why not have a full-featured UI where you could like votes of others and share yours, add pictures of you voting and comment with emoji on everyone's votes?

If your poll image is fetched from a webserver you manage, maybe you could use a simple cookie on your domain, named after the poll UUID and containing the user's vote ?

I have the same opinion, but I want to ask: Is there a way to add a "redirect_url" to redirect users to a page after they vote?

This looks so pretty! It'd be nice if it redirected back to the referrer instead of just showing "Voted!"
