About dPoll
dPoll is a place on the Steem blockchain where you can answer questions by your fellow Steemians and create polls yourself. You can find it at dPoll.xyz.
If you want to learn more about the project, you can read the introductory post.
There are a lot of developments going on at the moment in order to build out the MVP into a capable dApp on Steem.
The most recent developments were focused on UI in general, editing in particular and some work on the sponsors module.
We have implemented a new view which lists polls by vote count on specific date ranges. This view is hidden at the moment, but it's accessible via /polls_by_vote. polls by vote ranks the dPolls of the last 7 days by votes cast. If you want to know how to set specific date ranges: check this.
The immediate tasks on our development roadmap are:
- Front End design
- Achievements and Badges
- Fixing the mobile issues on markdown editor
- Adding/Updating post tags
- Multiple choice selection (Not %100 decided, yet.)
- DPP (dPoll Points) system based on user activity
If you have any feedback, go to our issues page at Github or drop by at our Discord server.
See it online at dpoll.xyz, and the source code at github repository.
