Show HN: I built a tool to create polls on Bluesky

I’m aware of poll.blue, it’s a great tool, but I built blueskypolls.xyz to offer more features like custom emoji support, poll end dates, and detailed result graphs, all while keeping it fast and simple to use.

OAuth is definitely on my radar, but I’m holding off until Bluesky provides a proper OAuth implementation. Once that’s in place, I’d love to integrate it!

Regarding the AV warning, it’s possible that the domain was previously registered and used for something malicious before I got it, but unfortunately, I can’t control its past. That said, I’m already reaching out to Bitdefender to get it reviewed and cleared.

Appreciate you bringing it up, and thanks for checking out this.

.xyz domains are commonly associated with malware, scams, and phishing, leading to such measures as multiple antimalware vendors blacklisting many or all .xyz domains.

I think it's pretty unfortunate .xyz domains ended up having such a bad reputation. I know when the tld first came out it was extremely cheap ($1 for the first year?) so I suspect anyone who wanted a good deal grabbed one.
