 Polls on nostr. Not ideal it should just be inside a posting client lol. Bit still ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ there's even a PoW option.

 @ABH3PO made a really good NIP for polls (which is what he’s using on this site). just needs to be implemented into clients now 
 i wanna add it to getwired.app asap but i’m sick 
 Take care dooty 🫂 get well soon 
 get well soon ser 
 We’ve had lightning polls on nostr since March 2023 but sadly clients didn’t take it up 
 I don't think they count cos not everyone can use them and they don't use them even when they can.  
 Everyone could use them but client devs haven’t implemented so they can’t. If they’re a feature in only one client then few will use them. 
 There are lots of amethyst users, people mostly don't want to zap a poll it seems. But let's ask... In a poll... Lol 
 It’s possible people don’t want to zap polls but other clients don’t see them from Amethyst Users so a massive chunk of the network doesn’t know when they’re up - makes it hard to judge.

I paid the bounty for this dev, it was intended to give nostr another usecase for zapping and make it costly to try to sway polls but I’d rather have SOME polls in every client even if not with zaps than none.
