Description

Live Poller is a platform created with Flask that allows for quick and efficient polling, designed specifically for use in a live setting where many people are gathered together at one place.

Features

• Management panel for all polls: create, delete, close, share, and view results
• Specify which IP addresses can manage polls; by default this is set to localhost (127.0.0.1)
• Highly customizable: poll question/text, add an unlimited number of possible responses, choose the closing time of the poll
• Share a poll with a page that displays a QR code that can be quickly scanned by mobile users
• Simplicity in voting - no extra bloat on any page
• Session checking to avoid repeat voters on a poll
• Visual results for all poll results, with all information (e.g. number of votes, percentage) placed on top of the result bars
• Results page automatically updates - no need for manual refresh
