Read the Room

A social polling platform that lets users ask and answer questions anonymously, visualizing how opinions are distributed across regions in real time. It targets curious individuals and executives seeking unfiltered public sentiment, as well as general consumers. Unlike traditional social media, it avoids personalized feeds, likes, and follows, focusing on aggregated distributions rather than debates. The service is delivered as a free, open-source web and mobile app.
