Shameless plug: I recently needed a super simple, clean and fast way to create a poll. Since I didn't find anything to fulfill my requirements, I built my own - http://tally.tl/ And that's the poll question I wanted to ask: http://tally.tl/GQDy3

I had the same problem and did the same thing a few years ago ( http://polls.cc ). I wonder how many of these websites are out there.

That's much better than everything I found during my short research. Well done!

Had I known about this I probably wouldn't have built Poll... I just wanted something elegant that didn't require registration... Good work!

Looks really good but I found a visual bug — the graph overflows (on small resolutions?) http://d.pr/i/mQFV Also, are the polls embeddable? I couldn't find any information about it on your page.

Not yet... it was built very quickly just yesterday... I will be fixing and adding (a limited amount) features over the coming weeks.

Awesome! There are currently no good "poll as a service" solutions out there. Not long ago, I searched pretty hard and tried all I could find. For a MVP I only miss one feature in your solution: The ability to add options later on.

That is a priority for me to be able to modify options... as I have said in other comments I just built this (very quickly in just one day) as I couldn't find anything that was elegant, free and required no registration.

I expect to get modifying options in hopefully by Wednesday if I can find the time.

Poll is a soon to be open-sourced project by Adam Butler Very cool. What's the stack?

Yep... simple RoR app with Angular.js will be swapping out pusher soon for private_pub.

I will open source it just as soon as I can do an audit of any major flaws :)

It would have been nicer if there would be comments or chat on the results page

I will be adding other features, but this will not be one of them. I built Poll because everything else made what should be simple far more complicated than it should be.

Seems the Pusher quota has been exceeded for the frameworks demo. Error : {"type":"WebSocketError","error":{"type":"PusherError","data":{"code":4004,"message":"Account over quota"}}}

I'm on it... I didn't quite expect so much traffic but wasn't going to let it ruin my lovely walk along Cheddar gorge today :)

Sylvain from Pusher here. I just up the app quota for the time being since it currently using our free plan.

The app should work fine now.

That's pretty neat of you.
