Show HN: Totalizer – P2P yes/no polling for meetings, no signup required

Totalizer is a real-time yes/no polling app that uses P2P (WebRTC) for instant sync across all participants.

I built this because I wanted a quick way to play confession games at parties with friends – "Do you have a crush on someone here tonight?" "Are you actually pretty drunk right now?" – but every polling app I tried required accounts or had annoying delays. I just wanted to share a link and get everyone voting immediately.

How it works: Create a room, share URL or QR code. Type your yes/no question. Everyone votes anonymously, results appear with confetti.

Tech: React 19, WebRTC for P2P, Go + Redis backend. Questions and results travel peer-to-peer; the server only handles auth and atomic vote counting (Redis Lua scripts prevent duplicates).

Great for party games, icebreakers, and quick group decisions. Feedback welcome!
