• Placard raising and lowering
• Viewing and lowering/clearing placards as the speaker
• 'Yes/No/Abstain style' voting
• Voting calculations for the speaker

Installation

You can install Triton Poll by cloning the repository locally and then installing the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/evelynhathaway/triton-poll.git
cd triton-poll
npm install

Usage

After changing the branding to match your conference, you can deploy using forever on any Node.js server.

It currently runs without a database for persistence and clustering or an authentication system, but it could be relatively easily extended to support these.

# Start the server in production mode using `forever`
npm run start

# Stop the running server
npm run stop
