QV

Ask a room a question and watch the answer move. One tap, one vote, a live needle, and no account for anybody — the ballot comes to the voter rather than the other way round.

What it is

A QV ballot is one question — yes or no, this or that — that anybody can answer in a single tap. No account, no app, no sign-up. The result is a needle that moves the moment anyone anywhere votes.

The ballot comes to you

Subscribe to channels — #food, #politics, #ohio, whatever exists, and new ballots arrive as notifications. On Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Android you vote from the notification's own buttons without opening anything. That is the part that makes it different from a poll: answering costs one tap from wherever you already were.

On iPhone it works through Add to Home Screen, which is Apple's requirement for web push rather than a choice.

Where a ballot can live

The feed	Vote in place, filter by channel, page through
Its own page	Vote, change your vote, watch the needle, copy the link
Any website	One script tag puts a live ballot on someone else's page
A notification	Vote from the buttons, without opening a page at all

For whoever is asking

The creator terminal publishes and closes ballots and watches tallies live, behind a creator key. Bulk seeding fills a channel from a question set, so a new channel does not launch empty.

How it works

Ask a questionYes or no, this or that. A ballot is one question, which is why it takes a second to answer.
Send it, or subscribe to a channelSubscribers get new ballots as notifications. On Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Android you vote from the notification's own buttons without opening anything.
Watch the needleThe result moves the moment anyone votes, anywhere. There is no closing time unless you want one.

What you get

No accounts, for anyoneNot for the asker and not for the voter. Anonymity is the product, not a setting.

Vote without opening anythingOn Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Android the notification carries the buttons. That is the difference between a poll and a question somebody actually answers.

A live needleThe result is a needle that moves, not a page you refresh.

Questions

Do voters need an account?: No. Nobody does. That is the entire point and it is why results are anonymous by construction rather than by promise.
How is it different from a poll?: Answering costs one tap from wherever you already are, instead of opening a page. That difference is most of the response rate.
Can I put one on my own site?: Yes, with one script tag.
Does it work on iPhone?: Through Add to Home Screen. That is Apple's requirement for web push, not a limitation we chose.
