FAQ
Does it do live word clouds like Menti?
Yes. Submissions appear live, or stay hidden until you reveal, and you can save the cloud as an image before the room forgets it.
Do participants need an account or an app?
No. They open the link and answer. No sign-up, no install.
Is there a question limit?
No. It is free with no per-question or per-audience limits, and the code is open-source.
