Pulse

About

Pulse offers a focused solution to polling, distinct from options hidden within platforms like Slack or requiring subscriptions. This open-source application excels at providing real-time vote updates to all viewers using WebSocket technology. Anonymity is prioritized through server-side enforcement for both poll creators and voters. Users can easily deploy Pulse to their personal AWS account with a single CDK command. Operating on Lambda and DynamoDB, the app is exceptionally cost-effective, with the free tier accommodating the majority of use cases. The lightweight frontend, less than 50KB, ensures speed and efficiency without unnecessary bloat or frameworks.
