Show HN: LivePoll – Real-time anonymous poll

This is a little poll I built to track sentiment for decision making. I've been in lots of awkward meetings recently where sales and management want a product to go live. And engineering and ops do not.

What the meetings needed was a snapshot of how people were feeling. People needed to be able to contribute anonymously. And we needed to track which direction sentiment was going. This would have facilitated a productive discussion.

Instead people didn't feel safe to voice their opinions, and there was false harmony.

My organisations problems are far deeper seated than can be solved with an anonymous poll. But I enjoyed making this tool anyways, and will use it to gauge how my own teams are feeling.

It's built using Flask-SocketIO, SQLAlchemy (Sqlite), Vue and Bulma. Source code is here if you want to look around - sg3-141-592/AnonymousStrawpoll (github.com)
