Permanent voting vs social polls: why boards beat feeds

Social polls disappear in 24–48 hours. A permanent voting board keeps ideas and votes in one place so you can collect stats and grow your audience.

If you've run a poll on social, you know the drill: it gets a burst of votes, then the post scrolls away. You can't easily see who wanted what over time, and there's no clean way to turn voters into subscribers or track trends.

Why permanent voting matters

A permanent voting board keeps every idea and vote on a single page. Your audience can suggest, vote, and come back later. You get a real backlog and real numbers—total votes, ideas, subscribers—in your dashboard.

Stats and history

On social, votes are tied to posts that disappear or get buried. You can't easily collect stats or look back at what your audience wanted. With a board, all ideas and votes stay put, so you get a clear history and real numbers to grow your audience.

One place, not many posts

One link gives your audience vote, updates, and the option to subscribe. No logins, no scattered tools—just one board that fits your brand with light or dark theme.

FAQ

How is board voting different from social polls?
Social polls disappear after 24–48 hours. A permanent board keeps ideas and votes forever, so you can prioritize over time and see real stats in your dashboard.
Can visitors vote without logging in?
Yes. Voting is anonymous and protected so the same visitor can't upvote the same idea multiple times from the same device.
