Global voting system using Twitter

3 hours ago I had the idea for a global polling/voting system, using nothing but tweets... It went live 5 minutes ago! ... To start or participate in a vote, just Tweet something this: "#twote #bestdatabase #couchdb #redis" ... Results: http://176.34.235.38:8000/ Code: https://github.com/sreuter/twote Me on Twitter: @sreuter

Global voting system using Twitter launched on May 19, 2013 with 12 votes, #119 of 587 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Global Voting System Using Twitter is a polling tool that lets users create and participate in votes entirely through tweets. Users start or join votes by tweeting specific hashtags, with results displayed on a web dashboard. The system is built with CouchDB and Redis, making it a lightweight alternative to traditional polling platforms for anyone wanting to gather opinions directly from the Twitter community.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
