QuickVote - Voting System (beta testers needed)

Hi people,

I have recently put together this web service, called quickVote. You can see it in action in my blog (notice the pie chart on the right ).

If you are interested, you can register for an account (it is free) and help us beta-test it.

Thanks in advance

So let us see the source code. What's it written in?

Perl, I'd wager.

I'm about to meander over to h(is|er) post in the Perl forum about op overloading and see if I can get an answer (it's one of the few interesting questions that's cropped up in quite a while ).

Ctb is right. It is written in OO Perl. As for the source code, shame on you, without even trying it out asking for the source code?

sorry, i'm not planning to distribute the program. It is a webservice. You can register and start using it on your website.

Why don't you try it out first and let me what you think of it?

I hate having to register for things.... From the outside it looks good, though. Is there anything that you have that really makes it stand out from all of the others?

---John Holmes...

It has nice template support. You can create unlimited number of templates both for displaying poll forms and for the results window. When you create your poll or edit them, you can choose which templates they should be associted with.

It is absolutely brand transparent. You can integrate with any website and with multiple websites

It can display the results either as a pie chart (with or without a legend), bar chart or simply a table or all at the same time.

Very user friendly, intuitive ( i hope) interface.

You can login with username "beta" and password "beta". Visit http://qv.handalak.com/

Now, in order for me to be really sure about the value of this project, I realize that I need more and more people to try it out and tell me what they think.

Okay, so I created a poll with 'beta', but how do I view it and the results?

---John Holmes...

To view the results of the poll, just click on the name of the poll in "Manage polls" section.

To insert the poll, go to "Manage polls", check the poll you want to insert to your site and click "Insert" button.

Would you suggest anything that would help the things to be even more obvious? Smooth, that is? May be I should add more comments on the screens, or reword the links/buttons differently?

Everything seemed pretty obvious to me. I missed the "preview" button where you edit the poll and result template, so I could actually see what it all looked like.
