An example poll rendered by my tool. Just a basic Bootstrap-styled card with the description of the poll and 4 options showing the votes for each option with a bar colored based on the results.

Mastodon recently added a “view results” option to polls, which lets you see the results of polls that may not have any relevant options for you to choose from, or perhaps ask questions that are not relevant to you and your life experience.

Unfortunately, it seems that most fediverse clients, including Mastodon’s own Android and iOS apps still lack this feature.

Do you have the option to see the results of this poll without voting?

Instead of wasting the limited number of options in polls (on Mastodon that’s capped at four) and adding a “view results” option by yourself, you can now use a new tool I’m working on.

An example poll rendered by my tool. Just a basic Bootstrap-styled card with the description of the poll and 4 options showing the votes for each option with a bar colored based on the results.

Here’s an example page made from this poll. I am releasing this tool as a proof of concept with initially only Mastodon being supported. My goal is to add a wider support, much like with my other fediverse tools.
