Hi HN,<p>my name is Basti, and I would like to showcase our project Buzzngo with you. Our system is running with RethinkDB under the hood and although the company behind it faded away we still think it's a nice tool to power real-time statistical analysis.<p>Our tests in Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg (Germany) were great collecting thousands of votes during a sunny day. Feel free to sign up if you want to start public polls in Germany/Europe in the near future.<p>Happy to hear your opinion!<p>Greetings
Basti
Try to back up and restore a large ( a table with a million rows ) rethinkdb database and tell me about how much you love it.<p>Used rethinkdb for my start up. It is a curse.
Lots to like here.<p>> RethinkDB is a wonderful db. Did you guys use Horizon on top for streaming? Or something custom?
> Wonderful design asethetic<p>Seeing as you're based in Frankfurt, I'd recommend reaching out to events hosted locally as live polling is a pretty common ask.
Love the idea! but was a confusing explanation. So a station is an hardware input to the poll? Can you vote online too?<p>A cool idea would be to have hardware as an output too. I can imagine a political campaign wanting an LED screen with a live poll count.
Two of the example polls in the site screenshot are political (us 2020, cannabis).<p>I'm wondering how you get background demo info on poll participants?<p>I think it could be interesting to think about using visual cues from video (gender, age) but what about info like is registered to vote or other demographic info.<p>I don't see example of the hardware but I'm guessing this is like those smiley face poll stations in that it just collects a simple response and doesn't collect say first, last, address, birthday etc?
really love your guys styling. is it all custom?<p>Maybe its so much text in one space, or maybe the cool animation in the background, or maybe just my tired eyes, but I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on what to read in the top section. I am not immediately faced with the value prop because there is so much content!
Tangent but this is quite funny hahaha<p>>Now, create a poll for that campaign. For example, "Donald Trump or Kanye West?"<p>>In our example, we could place the station near a university to get insights from academic people.
