poll-anon

Anonymous polling app. Create a poll, share the ID, let anyone submit options and vote — no account required.

Stack

• Frontend — React 19, TypeScript, Vite
• UI — Chakra UI v3
• Backend — PocketBase (self-hosted)

Getting started

1. Start PocketBase

Download PocketBase and run it:

./pocketbase serve

Import the collection schema:

./pocketbase import pb_collections.json

2. Start the frontend

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:5173.

How it works

Each user gets a random ID stored in localStorage — no sign-up needed. Polls move through three phases automatically based on deadlines:

• Submission — anyone can submit options
• Voting — options are locked; anyone can cast one vote
• Closed — results are visible, no further interaction

Share a poll by copying the poll ID from the detail page.
