Live results
Live means live
Responses appear as they are submitted. There is no refresh button to press and no interval to wait out, which matters most in the moments when it is genuinely useful — a session where the room is answering right now, a link that just went out to a mailing list, the first hour after a form goes live.
The same is true on a shared screen. A results view can sit on the projector while people are still answering, so the room watches its own opinion form. If a survey is spread across more than one server, submissions still reach every viewer, because results are relayed between instances rather than being stuck on whichever one received them.
No refresh
New responses push straight into the open dashboard.
Chart views per question
Bar, donut and line — pick what reads best for each one.
Presentable
Put the live results on the big screen while people answer.
The right summary for each question type
A dashboard is only useful when it summarises each question the way that question deserves. Choice, checkbox and dropdown questions get counts per option. Grids break down column counts per row. Sliders report a mean and a median, which together say more than either alone. Short answers are collected as readable text rather than crushed into a chart, and uploaded files are listed as downloadable references.
Quizzes get a second layer on top: maximum score, average, pass and fail counts against your passing mark, and the full score distribution. Reading the distribution is usually where a teacher decides whether to re-teach a topic or move on.
| Question type | Summary | Charts |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | Count per option | Bar · pie · donut |
| Checkboxes | Count per option | Bar |
| Grid | Column counts per row | Stacked bar |
| Slider | Mean and median | Bar · line |
| Rating | Distribution | Bar · line |

Getting the data out — or keeping it in
Export raw responses to CSV or Excel for analysis elsewhere, or generate a PDF for an individual response when a single result needs to be filed, signed off or handed over. Webhooks can push each submission to your own endpoint as it arrives, signed with HMAC so the receiving system can verify it really came from you.
Nothing forces data out, either. Retention rules can delete or anonymise responses automatically after a period you choose, so a dashboard that is useful this month does not quietly become a liability next year.

Raw responses for analysis in whatever you already use.
Per-response PDF

A dashboard you can put on the projector
The same results view that runs your analysis is the one you show a room — it updates as answers land, so the audience watches its own opinion take shape.
Frequently asked questions
- Do results update without reloading the page?
- Yes. Submissions are pushed to the open dashboard as they arrive, including when the results are on a shared screen during a session.
- Which chart types are available?
- Bar, donut and line views, switchable per question, alongside the numeric summaries appropriate to each question type.
- Can I export the responses?
- Yes — CSV and Excel for the raw data, and a PDF per individual response when a single result needs to stand on its own.
- Can responses be sent to another system automatically?
- Yes. Webhooks POST each response to an endpoint you choose, signed with HMAC so the receiver can verify the payload's origin.
