What it does
Block first
Edit the question and answers in place and preview the results with your colors.
Your data stays with you
Votes are saved in a table on your own site. Nothing is sent to another server.
Works with caching
The page can be cached; the vote and the results come from your site’s REST API.
One vote per person
By account for logged-in visitors, otherwise by a cookie and a scrambled code. The IP address is never saved.
Ready-made polls
Yes / No, Rating, Reactions (emoji) and Multiple choice in the inserter.
Accessible
Real radio buttons and checkboxes, full keyboard use, results read out to screen readers.
