## What it is
A service and CLI for embedding clickable poll/voting widgets in GitHub issues via markdown SVG images, with votes tracked per IP and stored in DynamoDB. Polls can be created through a web app or the `polls` CLI, which copies the markdown to the clipboard.

## Use cases
- add a poll to a github issue
- collect user feedback via voting in issues
- create a poll from the command line
- track votes on feature requests
- embed clickable voting images in markdown

## When to choose
- you want lightweight voting inside GitHub issues without a bot
- you prefer a CLI or web form to generate poll markdown

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed maintenance or support - the project is unmaintained with no license file and last released in 2019
- you need self-hosted voting since it depends on the hosted gh-polls API
- you need anonymous-vote integrity beyond one vote per IP
