Hey HN!

Read the Room is an anonymous social polling app that lets anyone filter or compare results between generations, countries and cities.

Example: Rate "Is remote work overrated?" on a 1-5 scale and see if Gen Z in Austin agrees with Millennials in Berlin.

Privacy-first architecture: Response history stored locally on your device, only aggregates hit the server. Aiming for close to "zero-knowledge polling", Passkey auth (no passwords, no accounts). Each response to a poll is submitted as "City X votes +1 in bucket Y" without attaching the user to the response, or the fact that they responded to the question in the first place (all that is processed on device). Built with Flutter + Supabase, AGPLv3.

I built this slowly over a couple of years because I was tired of mass social media masquerading as surveillance tech, and I wanted to build what a "human bioindicator" might actually look like in an OSS paradigm. It's designed as a nonprofit, mirroring Wikipedia.

We're live at 500 installs across 50 countries with ~100 weekly actives right now, with vast majority of folks in the US/Canada. Though, it'd be cool to diversify that a bit more. English-only for now, but designing the multi-language support and will implement it once there is more traction.

Would love your feedback, and happy to answer questions!
