ProofPoll v0.2.1

ProofPoll v0.2.1

Verified polls that can't be faked, censored, or quietly rewritten — running on your own machine, owned by the people who use them.

ProofPoll is a free, open-source desktop app for polls and votes where the results actually mean something:

• One vote, one real person. Voters link a verified Flowsta identity, so every vote resolves to a single human — even across multiple devices — and duplicates are dropped.
• No one can rewrite or delete it. Polls and votes live on a peer-to-peer Holochain network, replicated and validated across everyone who runs the app. There's no admin who can change a result or take a poll down — not even us.
• Private data on a public network. Attach a private rationale to a vote, or draft a poll before publishing — ProofPoll encrypts it on your machine before it ever leaves.

It's built on Flowsta Vault (your identity and keys stay on your own machine), and it's also a complete, fork-ready template for any desktop Holochain app — see the forking guide.

What's new since v0.2.0

• Windows builds are now code-signed. Installers carry Flowsta's SSL.com OV certificate, so Windows shows FLOWSTA as the verified publisher instead of a SmartScreen "unknown publisher" warning.
• Security: sanitized voter profile-picture image sources on the poll page (closes a DOM-based XSS finding).
• Integrity: every release now ships a SHA256SUMS.txt so you can verify your downloads.
• Docs: clarified that cross-device recovery is identity-aware recognition (re-link your identity, data syncs from the network), not a backup/replay.

Downloads

Pick your platform from the assets below:

• Linux — .deb, .rpm, or .AppImage
• macOS — .dmg (Intel or Apple Silicon)
• Windows — .exe installer or .msi (code-signed; verified publisher FLOWSTA)

Verify your download (optional): sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt (Linux) or shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt (macOS).

ProofPoll v0.2.0

ProofPoll's first public release — verified polls on a decentralized network, one vote per real person.

ProofPoll runs its own local Holochain conductor: polls and votes live on a peer-to-peer network, not a central server. Sign in with your Flowsta identity to vote, and your activity is recognized as yours across every device.

Highlights

• Decentralized polls & votes — stored and shared peer-to-peer on Holochain, no central server.
• One vote per person — Flowsta identity prevents ballot-stuffing; the same account across devices counts once.
• Cross-device recognition — your polls and votes follow your Flowsta identity, even after reinstalling or switching machines.
• Sign in with Flowsta — one click opens your Vault to approve, then returns you to ProofPoll.
• Community moderation — flag content; the UI hides what crosses a threshold while the data stays on the network.
• Your data is yours — ProofPoll backs up to your Flowsta Vault in a portable, CAL-compliant form (your data plus the keys to use it), exportable anytime.
• Built to be forked — the reference implementation for Flowsta-on-Holochain apps (see the README).

Requires the free Flowsta Vault app for identity sign-in. Downloads below for Windows, macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), and Linux.
