Hi HN, my name is Basti, and I would like to showcase our project Buzzngo with you. Our system is running with RethinkDB under the hood and although the company behind it faded away we still think it's a nice tool to power real-time statistical analysis. Our tests in Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg (Germany) were great collecting thousands of votes during a sunny day. Feel free to sign up if you want to start public polls in Germany/Europe in the near future. Happy to hear your opinion! Greetings Basti

Cool project and am glad to see RethinkDB getting some love, a couple questions, specifically about the hardware, came to mind: Do you order the hardware and then place it wherever you like, or do you guys set it up? How does shipping it work? What is it underneath: Raspberry Pi + custom stuff (batteries etc)? Will you be offering fancier machines later on, as in a machine that lets you input text? Thanks for posting, i might well have use for this some day.

  Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yes, using our web platform you are able to create campaigns and attach stations to it. Everything is automatic and just informs the team that a new station need to be placed on point X for Y duration. Once placed and activated the stations need to further watching. Yes, Raspberry + WiFi + Batteries. :) We are experimenting with a lot of things. Hitting, high-fiveing, jumping on the buzzer and many more. They all have there pro and cons. Haha

Best of luck! We still use RethinkDB under a lot of our tech stack, and love it. Great platform and I hope it continues to improve under open source care.

WDYT about the recent fork "Rebirthdb"? I heard that they are close to release a 2.4 version but without Windows support. https://github.com/RebirthDB/rebirthdb https://github.com/RebirthDB/rebirthdb https://github.com/RebirthDB/rebirthdb/issues/3 https://github.com/RebirthDB/rebirthdb/issues/3
