Silium is an App to create polls easy, fast and anonymous. It creates a QR-Code and a link, which can be shared anywhere. As there is no login required, everything is fully anonymous and stress-free.
Hello everybody!
My name is Christopher. I'm a self-taught hobby programmer and the developer of Silium.
I once wondered how I could make it easy for everybody to create polls and make people take part anonymously.
This has the advantage that people can vote for their honest opinion and also the poll can be used for a wider audience.
Using Silium is simple:
- Enter title and description
- choose a poll type:
- Yes or No (Only Yes or No to be pressed)
- Average Slider (similar to the slider from Instagram)
- Single Choice (create up to 5 entries, only one can be selected)
- Multiple Choice (create up to 5 entries, more than one can be selected)
- Free Text (enter any text. The same answers will be summarized and counted)
When done, Silium will create a QR-Code and a Silium ID (URL), which can be shared however you want.
Everybody who has access to the QR-Code or the Silium ID can participate. So you could also have a billboard with the QR-Code for a public poll. There is an option to protect polls with a password.
If you DON'T have the app installed and scan the QR-Code with your phone's QR-Code Scanner app (or click the Silium ID), a website will open, where you can download the app
If you DO have the app installed and scan the QR-Code with your phone's QR-Code Scanner app (or click the Silium ID), Silium will be opened, and you can vote.
As a paid feature, you can create a poll which can also be used via the Web browser. In this case, you can participate in a poll without the Silium App installed. To create a poll, the Silium App is required.
Best practice it to use the built-in QR-Code scanner in Silium.
Silium is only available for Android at the moment.
iOS will follow as soon as the app has gained popularity on Android
Please keep in mind, that I live in the CET Timezone, so answers to your questions might take a while.
