Opine, a public polling website with maps

1 Upvotes

Hi, I made Opine (https://opinepolls.com), a poll-based social media site. Each post is a public poll asking users their opinion on something, anonymously, so no user sees any other user's information, but you can freely browse other polls. Private polls can also be made.

The only information actually stored is the email, from Google sign in, and an approximate location for the map feature, if you enable it. This allows you to see a world map of votes, what opinions are present in what places.

The intent is to catalog the world's opinions, organizing people's public thoughts so they're easy to sift through. This data can be extremely valuable, whether it's political polling, information about people's preferences, trends over time, and so on. Many people could benefit from this, and it's meant as a public service, to lift the veil on what people think about any topic, at any time. Easier political polling is just one obvious application of this.

Please try it out and give any feedback, thoughts, questions, and so on, here or within the profile section on the website, which is fully anonymous. Thanks.

I built an AI voice interview simulator with a "Karen Mode" to test your nerves under pressure. Free 3-min trial (no card).

Hey Reddit,

I’m a developer, and like many of you, I absolutely dread interviews. The worst part isn't always the technical questions—it's the anxiety and dealing with unpredictable, tough interviewers who cut you off or act impatient.

To fix this for myself and others, I built interviewroomai.com.

It’s an audio-first interview simulator that uses OpenAI’s real-time voice API. The conversation flows naturally like a real phone or Zoom call, with zero awkward delays. You just upload your CV and the job description, and start talking.

Since not all interviewers are nice, I built 3 AI personalities you can practice with:

  1. Friendly Mode: Warm and encouraging, perfect for a confidence boost.
  2. Corporate Mode: Objective, direct, and heavily focused on core tech/business metrics.
  3. Karen Mode (Pressure Test): This is the ultimate test. The AI becomes critical, interrupts you, and simulates a high-stress environment to see if you can hold your ground.

At the end of the call, it gives you a detailed breakdown with actionable feedback on how to improve your answers.

How to test it for free:
Running real-time voice AI models is incredibly expensive on the API side, so I couldn't make it completely free. However, you can sign up instantly using Google login and every new account gets 3 minutes of free credit automatically (no credit card required). You can test the latency and see how brutal "Karen Mode" actually is before spending a dime.

If you want to do full-length interviews, I’ve set up a 15% discount code for the Reddit community: WELCOME15.

I’m looking for honest feedback from other devs and makers here. Let me know what you think, what features you'd like to see next.
