Hey r/IndiaStartups  ,
Its Nimit a 16 year old boy who loves building things and ship them. I always had a dream of building my own social media but wanted it to be unique than what is already existing. So I was constantly brainstorming and got the idea of building "Decido - A Poll Based Social Media Platform" where every post is a battle.

The project is still on its early stages but is open to users for testing purposes. Anyone who likes the idea I would request you to go and create your profile in the platform to support it. New/Crazy features are in making and could launch anytime soon.

If you like my idea, make sure to check it out!

Thank You
Nimit Biswas
Founder

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a startup called Decido.

The idea is simple:

Instead of posting content and hoping for engagement, every post starts as a poll.

People can vote, discuss, follow creators, and see how opinions differ across topics like technology, startups, sports, education, and current events.

Current features:

• Poll creation with descriptions and hashtags
• Trending and discovery feeds
• User profiles and following system
• Public poll pages that can be shared externally
• Comment discussions on polls
• NSFW tagging and moderation controls

The problem I'm trying to solve:

Most social platforms optimize for passive scrolling. I wanted to experiment with a platform optimized around participation and opinions instead.

Current stage:

• MVP launched
• Small number of early users
• Bootstrapped
• Built by a student team
• Looking for product-market fit

What I'd love feedback on:

1. Would you use a platform like this?
2. What would make it valuable enough to return regularly?
3. What growth loops would you focus on first?
4. What's the biggest risk you see in the idea?

I'd appreciate brutally honest feedback from fellow founders.

People are busy with the old form mediocre social media platforms. They are stuck in a loop, create, edit and post content so that they can get engagement in the form of likes, comments, shares etc. Is it really engagement?

For me, engagement is what makes people think, decide, choose and actually indulge them in something, people engage literally.

To solve this problem I built DECIDO - A Poll Based Social Media Platform

People do not just doomscroll here, they vote, they decide, they think. The platform is made with a great intention and is on its early access stage so users are welcomed to come and test and grow the platform with the help of the community!

A special achievement for the first 1000 users of the badge is live, so go and claim it.

Title: Built a social polling platform with SEO pages per poll as the growth engine. Bootstrapped, $0 budget, 10 users. Roast me.

Stack: Next.js + Supabase + Cloudflare Pages/Workers

Revenue: ₹0

Users: ~10 (network only)

Marketing budget: ₹0

The product: Decido — a social polling platform where polls have unlimited options, a full debate thread, trending discovery, and personalized feeds.

The micro-SaaS angle I'm building toward: every poll is a permanent, indexed, server-rendered SEO page. The long-term play is that as users create polls on specific topics — "best invoicing tool for freelancers", "top frameworks for solo developers" — those pages rank organically and create a self-sustaining acquisition loop.

No other polling platform does this. Strawpoll isn't indexed properly. Twitter polls vanish. Reddit polls live and die inside subreddits.

What I'm figuring out right now:

1. Whether to stay broad (all poll topics) or niche down hard to one category like "Indian startup debates" or "developer tool opinions" to win a specific community first

2. At what point Google starts ranking poll pages — do I need rich comment content first, or will fresh polls rank just on title relevance?

3. Whether notifications ("your poll got 50 votes") should be the next feature I build before doing any acquisition push

This community has seen a lot of bootstrapped products succeed and fail. What would you prioritize at this stage?

Live product: https://decido.pages.dev

I've been building Decido for the past few months — a social polling platform with unlimited options, comment debates, trending feeds, and personalized discovery.

But the thing I keep coming back to is the SEO angle, and I want this community's honest take on whether it's real or cope.

Here's the logic:

— Every poll on Decido gets its own standalone, server-rendered, indexed URL

— Poll titles like "best CRM for a 3-person startup" or "React vs Vue vs Svelte 2025" are literally search queries people type into Google

— If those pages rank, I get organic acquisition forever with zero ad spend

— Twitter polls, Reddit polls, Strawpoll — none of them are indexable this way

The bet: UGC-generated poll content becomes a search engine content library that compounds over time.

The risk I see: Google may not rank thin poll pages well, especially early on when there are few votes and comments.

So the real question is: does this only work after you already have a lot of users generating rich content? Or can you bootstrap the SEO angle by manually seeding high-quality polls targeting specific keywords from day one?

Stack for those curious: Next.js App Router, Supabase, Cloudflare Pages + Workers.

Genuinely want to hear from anyone who's built SEO into a UGC product — what actually worked?

I've been building Decido for the past few months — a social polling platform where polls have unlimited options, every vote has a public debate thread, and there's a trending/personalized feed.

The original idea was just "polls but less broken than Twitter/Reddit." But something clicked while building it:

Every poll gets its own standalone SEO-indexed page.

That means a poll titled "Best project management tool for a 5-person startup" could realistically rank on Google and pull in organic traffic indefinitely — without any marketing spend. The platform grows passively as users create more content.

For a bootstrapped SaaS with $0 marketing budget, that felt like the only realistic path to sustainable growth. Compare it to something like Reddit polls or Twitter polls — both are completely invisible to search engines. That's the gap I'm building into.

Current stack:

— Next.js (App Router)

— Supabase (DB, auth, realtime)

— Cloudflare Pages + Workers + aggressive edge caching

Where I'm at: about 10 users from my network, still validating whether people create polls organically or whether I need to seed forever. That's the core UGC cold start problem I'm trying to solve right now.

Monetization thinking so far (nothing built yet):

— Pro polls with advanced analytics for brands/creators

— Embedded polls for publishers and newsletters

— Sponsored trending slots

Honest question for this community: for a UGC-driven platform at zero revenue, what would you prioritize — retention mechanics or acquisition channels? I keep going back and forth.

Happy to share more about the architecture or the growth thinking if useful. Link if you want to poke around: https://decido.pages.dev

For the past few months I've been building Decido — a social polling platform where you can create polls with unlimited options, debate in the comments, follow people whose opinions you find interesting, and see live trending polls.

The honest backstory: I kept running into situations where someone would post a poll on Twitter and the options were so constrained that the whole thing felt pointless. Reddit polls are capped at 6 options. Instagram is binary. None of them have a real debate layer attached.

So I built what I actually wanted to exist.

Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Cloudflare Pages/Workers

What it does differently:

— Unlimited options per poll

— Every poll gets its own SEO page (so polls are actually discoverable via Google)

— Trending algorithm + vote velocity tracking so fast-moving polls surface

— Poll owners can close polls and declare final results

— Full comment/debate thread on every poll

I have about 10 people from my network using it right now. Some polls are getting real debate going which is exciting to watch.

What I'm genuinely unsure about: whether people will create polls organically or whether I'll need to seed content forever. Would love to hear from anyone who's built a UGC platform about how they handled the cold start.

Harsh feedback welcomed — I have thick skin.

Most social platforms today are basically infinite scrolling.

People consume content.
Maybe like it.
Maybe comment.
Then leave.

I wanted to build something where people actually participate.

So I built Decido : A social polling platform where every post is an interactive debate.

Users can:

• create polls with unlimited options
• vote instantly
• debate in comments
• follow creators
• share live results
• close polls anytime
• embed results externally
• browse trending opinion battles

Some features I focused heavily on:

• vote velocity tracking
• trending based on engagement speed
• standalone SEO pages for every poll
• hashtag/category discovery
• NSFW tagging + spam control
• personalized feeds based on interests

The interesting part:
people don’t just consume content…
they try to influence the result.

A simple poll can suddenly turn into a full-on war in the comments 😭

I’m still building and optimizing the platform, but I’d genuinely love feedback from people here:

• What would make something like this addictive?
• What would stop you from using it?
• What features would make debates/polls more fun?

Would really appreciate honest feedback from the community.
