Embed the markdown in your GH issue, people click the image, vote, then get redirected back to the issue with the results showing the updated vote stats.
Hey GitHub users 👋,
I needed to collect votes in a GitHub issue recently, so I created this free tool.
How it works: Embed the markdown in your GH issue, people click the image, vote, then get redirected back to the issue with the results showing the updated vote stats.
It would also be nice if the markdown would result in multiple images/links, and simply clicking the image would cast the vote. This would of course require some more checks to prevent bots etc. from casting votes.

Who hunted GitHub Issue Polls?
GitHub Issue Polls was hunted by Alan Hamlett. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
