FlowPoll — get paid to answer quick polls while the AI works

Earn a little every time you're waiting on Claude, Copilot, or Cursor. FlowPoll drops a short, paid micro-poll into your status bar. One click to answer — done. The answer is sent silently over HTTPS by the extension, so it never touches your AI conversation and costs zero tokens.

• 💸 Paid — real developer opinions companies actually pay for. Your balance grows per answer.
• ⚡ One click — a poll shows in the status bar; click it (or the popup buttons) and pick.
• 🤫 Zero tokens, zero interruption — answers go straight to FlowPoll, not to your model.
• 🔒 Private & anonymous — we only send your token, the poll id, your choice, and response time. Never your code, files, prompts, or history. Your token lives in the OS secret store.

How it works

1. Install FlowPoll.
2. Command Palette → “FlowPoll: Sign in” and paste the token from your account page (starts with dp_).
3. A poll appears in the status bar whenever one matches you. Click → pick an option → earn.
4. Click the status-bar item any time for the menu: answer, earnings & payout, account, pause polls, sign out.

Prefer quiet? Pause polls from the menu — nothing pops up until you resume, and you’re never flooded with everything published while you were away.

Privacy

FlowPoll sends only: your token, the current question id, your chosen option index, and how long you took. That’s it. No source code, no file contents, no prompts, no telemetry on your work. Answers are weighted and aggregated; companies see anonymous results, never who you are.

FAQ

Does answering cost me AI tokens? No. The answer is an HTTPS request from the extension host — it never becomes a message in your Claude/Copilot chat, so your usage and bill are untouched.

How do I get paid? Earnings accrue in your balance. Withdraw from your account page once you pass the payout minimum (subject to a quick trust/fraud review).

Why don’t I see polls? There may be none matching your profile right now, or you’re paused. Set your languages/seniority on your account page so companies can target you.
