TapVoter's answer

Most voting tools force you to choose: either formal elections or simple polls. TapVoter is both in one platform. You get 5 real voting methods (Direct, Ranked Choice, Approval, STAR, and Multi-Winner) for secure elections with voter keys, live monitoring, and a public transparency log — and you also get instant shareable polls with analytics, rating scales, and bot protection. On top of that, every ballot supports 30 languages with full RTL support and browser auto-detection, so your voters participate in the language they're most comfortable with. Elections are completely free, forever — no feature gating on the core voting experience.

TapVoter's answer

Three reasons. First, elections are genuinely free — not a 14-day trial, not a freemium trap. All 5 voting methods, voter keys, custom branding, cover pages, multilingual ballots, live monitoring, transparency logs, and CSV exports are included at no cost. Second, TapVoter takes trust seriously: every voter key is SHA-256 hashed, every vote is rate-limited, results are verifiable through a public transparency log, and there's a live election monitor voters can watch in real time. Third, the pricing is simple and fair — Polls Pro is $4.99/mo for unlimited everything, and early adopters (first 100) get 50% off for life.

TapVoter's answer

Anyone who needs to run a legitimate vote or gather group opinions: student governments, HOAs, nonprofits, clubs, churches, unions, co-ops, and small-to-midsize organizations. On the polls side, it's ideal for community managers, content creators, educators, and teams who want quick audience feedback with more depth than a social media poll — rating scales, analytics, scheduled launches, and embeddable results. The common thread is people who care that their voting process is fair, accessible, and transparent without needing enterprise software or a six-figure contract.

TapVoter's answer

TapVoter started as a simple idea: voting online shouldn't require a PhD in election administration or a corporate budget. The first version was a Firebase app focused on getting the basics right. Version 2 was a full rebuild in Remix to improve the developer experience. Version 3 — the current release — is a ground-up rewrite on Cloudflare Workers, designed for speed, global availability, and long-term stability. Each generation was driven by the same belief: that real voting methods like Ranked Choice and STAR voting shouldn't be locked behind paywalls, and that every community deserves access to tools that make collective decisions fair and transparent.

TapVoter's answer

TapVoter runs on Cloudflare Workers with Hono as the server framework and React + Vite as the frontend SPA. Data lives in Cloudflare D1 (SQLite at the edge) with Drizzle ORM, file storage in Cloudflare R2, and session/rate-limiting in Workers KV. Authentication is handled by BetterAuth, client-side data fetching by TanStack Query, and the UI is built with Tailwind CSS and Radix primitives. The test suite uses Vitest with Cloudflare's vitest-pool-workers. CI/CD runs on GitHub Actions with automatic preview deploys on PRs and production deploys on merge to main.
