We're thrilled to announce that Polls are now live in Bettermode! This has been the most requested and wishlisted feature from our community, and we're excited to finally deliver it.
Whether you’re collecting product input, choosing event topics, or sparking fun conversations, polls help you turn passive readers into active participants — right inside your posts.
🎯 Why This Matters
Communities thrive when members feel heard. Polls make it easier than ever to capture real-time insights, invite participation, and drive discussion, all without leaving the post.
And because polls are built directly into the Composer, you can add them with just a few clicks, customize the voting experience, and publish alongside the rest of your content.
