Ah, our designer just got really mad at me because I forgot to share this in my comment. This is a creation flow we tested a few months ago with a similar premise. Still requires hitting a submit button. I like the way Tally just creates the poll right there.

Love the minimalist approach to this. From a design perspective, I feel it's almost too simple though. When I was done my sample poll, I wasn't quite sure how to specify that I was done and how to share it. I didn't realize that all I had to do was share the link. Perhaps some small prompts to tell the user that the form is done and is shareable would be helpful.
@eriktorenberg Wedgies looks neat! I believe Wedgies offers a lot more than Tally. Tally is dead simple. No registrations, no lengthy setups, just votes. :)
Thanks for mentioning Wedgies @eriktorenberg! First off, I want to say that Tally is super awesome and clean. Nice work @filipminev. I would love to chat with you more about what you learned building this and as people use it. And offer any advice/learnings we can if it's something you want to keep working on.
The points of differentiating I can see are probably that 1) Wedgies results update in real time for both the voter and the owner 2) Ability to handle scale.
This might be secret sauce, but I'm glad to share. Any poll posted to a social network (and any content) is going to get the brunt of it's traffic/votes up front in the first minutes and then experience long tail voting over the lifetime of the poll. Dealing with that initial traffic kick and making sure the results of the poll is correct is really important. It's kind of a chicken and an egg problem. You don't want to build a robust, real time counting system until you need to, but you won't get users with bigger audiences using you until you do.
