Most polling tools are either buried inside heavy platforms (Slack, Teams, Google Forms), locked behind paywalls, or overloaded with features nobody asked for. Pulse is different — it's a standalone app that does one thing well: fast, neat, real-time polls. Why Pulse? - Lightweight — no frameworks, no ORMs, no bloat. Raw Python Lambdas, a single DynamoDB table, and a Svelte SPA under 50KB - Dirt cheap — runs entirely on AWS serverless. Free tier covers most usage; heavy use costs $10/month - Aesthetic UI — dark-first monochrome design with one accent color, generous whitespace, smooth animations. Every element earns its place - Real-time — votes update live across all viewers via WebSocket. No refresh needed - Privacy-first — anonymous creator, anonymous voters, and visible voters are all toggleable per poll. Anonymity is enforced server-side — the API never leaks data the frontend shouldn't show - Self-hosted — deploy to your own AWS account in minutes with CDK. Your data, your rules - Open source — MIT licensed. Fork it, extend it, make it yours Structure Architecture Frontend - SvelteKit 5 SPA (SSR disabled) built to static files, served from S3 via CloudFront - CloudFront handles HTTPS, SPA routing (404 → index.html), and proxies /api/ to API Gateway - WebSocke","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/kartikeybhardwaj","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/kartikeybhardwaj/pulse/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
