Show HN: GitHub user polls (markdown friendly)

• slowmotarget 9y ago
  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?
    • slowmotarget 9y ago
      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!"
