What it does
Most polling tools are buried inside Slack, Teams, or Google Forms, or locked behind paywalls. Pulse is a standalone, open-source polling app that does one thing well. • Real-time - votes update live across all viewers via WebSocket • Privacy-first - anonymous creators and voters, enforced server-side • Self-hosted - deploy to your own AWS account with one CDK command • Dirt cheap - runs on Lambda + DynamoDB, free tier covers most usage • Under 50KB frontend - no bloat, no frameworks, just fast

Talanoa▲340Hi 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.
