Mapping opinions & beliefs across twitter & bluesky
See: https://defenderofthebasic.substack.com/p/ori-polls-app
I made a very simple websocket polling app for WordHack in NYCn - see writeup here: #1. How hard would it be to make a version where you login with twitter and click a poll option and we can see who thinks what? And have that all shuffle & updated in real time
Steps would literally be:
- Login with twitter, get pfp
- A page where I can set a question (answers can be hard-coded to A/B/U or be configurable)
- A server that just shuffles the traffic across websockets? (doesn't actually need a database, just needs to work "live". Can take screenshots of the answers?) or can be a simple key/value store / dump it into a json
- I think I want it to be a seemless experience while on stage, going from one question to the next. In the original "live-poll" demo I have it like a "room", and I can type, if I open the app with a secret

What I intend to do with this is do an EGREGORIC ANALYSIS of the audience. Like, imagine finding questions/prompts that (1) everyone agrees on (2) everyone DISAGREES on, those are our egregore bounds. Now we can dive in, subdivide it one more level. Like I might ask "do you know that there is a comet doing weird thing called 3I/ATLAS" and see how many in the audience just learned this or already know it. And we can keep going from there.
