Pulse
Lightweight real-time polls - open source & self-hosted
Most polling tools are buried inside Slack, Teams, or Google Forms, or locked behind paywalls. Pulse is a standalone, open-source polling app that does one thing well. • Real-time - votes update live across all viewers via WebSocket • Privacy-first - anonymous creators and voters, enforced server-side • Self-hosted - deploy to your own AWS account with one CDK command • Dirt cheap - runs on Lambda + DynamoDB, free tier covers most usage • Under 50KB frontend - no bloat, no frameworks, just fast
Pulse is a Productivity company. It launched on Product Hunt on Mar 10, 2026, with 83 upvotes. Adamlead has 1 person on file at Pulse.
