RoundtableJS – Open-source programmatic survey library

In plain words

RoundtableJS is an open-source JavaScript library for building and running surveys at scale with programmatic control. It is designed for academic and market researchers who need advanced branching logic and customization beyond what no-code survey tools offer. The library uses JavaScript's async/await functionality to manage survey logic, replacing callback-based approaches that become difficult to debug and maintain as surveys grow in complexity.

  Hi HN, we’re Matt and Mayank of Roundtable. We’re launching RoundtableJS, an open-source library (https://github.com/roundtableAI/roundtable-js) to program research surveys at scale. Academic and market researchers want a DIY platform for survey research. Most existing tools are no-code, and these researchers want programmatic software that handles advanced branching logic and customization. We know this because we spent five years using open-source survey software for our academic work. One of the key insights of RoundtableJS is to leverage JavaScript’s async/await…

  Roundtable – Survey fraud and bot detection API2024 · ▲21

  Hi HN, we're Mayank and Matt of Roundtable (https://www.roundtable.ai). We launched our Survey Simulator as part of YC S23 (see Launch HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36865625), and ultimately decided to pivot because we couldn't convince users to trust our results and our value proposition wasn't clear. We conducted tons of user discovery interviews, and a lot of big players talked about the pain of manual QC and bot detection. We launched a survey fraud and bot detection API (Alias; docs.roundtable.ai) that determines whether a bot is answering your survey…

  Talanoa▲341

  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…

  I created an After Effects alternative▲1,150

  Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
