About

FingerDoor is a real-time polling and voting web service designed to help you gather audience responses quickly and naturally during classes, lectures, workshops, and presentations—and share the results instantly.

What does FingerDoor solve?

In live settings, participation often doesn’t happen as smoothly as expected. Asking for raised hands, collecting notes on paper, or running surveys through separate apps can easily break the flow—and it takes extra setup time.

FingerDoor was built to reduce this “in-room delay.” Hosts publish a question and bring people in; participants respond with a simple tap; results are aggregated instantly and can be shared on one screen. In other words, it helps keep Question → Participation → Result sharing in one continuous flow.

Five principles we care about

• Built for the room: Features don’t matter if they feel slow in a live setting. We keep the flow minimal.
• Zero explanation: Even first-time students/attendees should understand the UI immediately.
• Results at a glance: We believe “readable results” matter more than raw counting.
• Keep it simple: We build the essentials first and remove unnecessary steps and inputs.
• Stability & responsibility: Reliability, access control, and responsible data handling are foundational.

Great for these situations

FingerDoor is especially useful when the goal is “participation,” not just “a survey.” It helps you pull live reactions and make the next step of the session smoother.

• Quick understanding checks in class (T/F, 5-choice, mini quizzes)
• Preference checks before discussion, majority votes, priority voting
• Workshop idea evaluation and session feedback
• Audience-participation voting at talks/events with live result sharing
• Fast decision-making and lightweight feedback in small teams

How the service is operated

FingerDoor separates roles between “Host (teacher/speaker/moderator)” and “Participant (student/audience)” to make live operation easy. Typically, the host posts questions, participants join via code/link and respond, and the host shares results on screen.

We also continuously refine features and flows such as a “presentation view (present mode)” to display results more cleanly in lecture environments. Based on real-world usage, the UI and access flow will continue to be improved.

Session creation policy (purpose · email)

FingerDoor keeps participation as simple as possible while maintaining stability and responsible operations. For this reason, our operating policy requires hosts to enter a session purpose and an email address when creating a session. This is a minimal measure to prevent spam/abuse, deliver important operational notices, and support incident handling and quality improvements.

• Session purpose: Helps verify the context (class/event/workshop) and reduce misuse.
• Email address: Used for session management and essential notices (e.g., security/policy changes/outage notices) and to help verify issues when needed.
• No marketing emails: We do not use the email for marketing/advertising messages.

For details on what we collect, why we use it, and how long we retain it, please see Privacy.

Basic principles for data & privacy

FingerDoor is designed to minimize personally identifiable information. Some technical logs may be generated for stability (incident response, security, quality improvements). Details are available in Privacy.

• We process information only within what is necessary.
• We minimize procedures that interrupt live participation.
• If policies change, we will provide notice on the relevant pages.
