fyi i’m cool with browser extensions, etc. for wasteof, but please don't add special syntax that requires the extension to view. (eg. : emoji: text). it makes things a lot messier for everyone else.

that’s actually not a bad idea. i had originally thought that, once the API is implemented, it could simply post a link to an external website where the same poll could be accessed by non-extension users (and they could respond to polls!), but for @wasteofplus users, it would embed the poll directly into wasteof.

I guess? It would be annoying to have to make an API if you ever want to make a similar addon though.
the API would be open-source (@/radi8 offered to help) and i don’t think it would be too hard (it would mostly be adding new database tables, and configuring them). In #93, I list several other addons (besides polls) that would benefit from the API system.
