Two tools on one small core.
The room
For talks, classes and meetings. Your screen shows a QR code; the audience joins on their phones and sends reactions, votes in your polls and asks questions others can upvote. You stay the only one who can open a poll or publish a result.
- One click to create, nothing to install
- Polls with two to four options, live bars
- Q&A sorted by votes, mark answered, hide
- Press F for a clean projector view
What it can't do.
Without a server, nothing catches a failed connection or a cheater. These are the trade-offs of the approach, stated up front.
- Peers see each other's IP address
- WebRTC connects browsers directly, so everyone in a room or on a page can see the others' IP addresses. On a professional site, tell your readers; this counts as personal data under GDPR.
- A few dozen people, not five hundred
- Every peer connects to every other. Thirty people means 435 connections, and phones start to struggle past a few dozen. Good for a meetup or a class, wrong for a keynote.
- Some connections fail
- Without a TURN relay, strict NATs and some corporate, school or mobile networks block direct connections. Expect roughly one person in ten to stay on "Connecting".
- Nothing is kept
- When everyone leaves, it is gone. On a quiet site the widget is mostly alone and stays hidden. The presenter's browser saves the room state locally so a reload doesn't wipe it.
- Votes can be gamed
- Reactions and votes are anonymous. Someone determined can reconnect and vote again. Rate limits slow abuse down; they don't stop it. Don't use it for a vote that matters.
- Relays belong to others
- Signaling uses public Nostr relays run by third parties. Several are tried at once, but they can be slow or go away.
