About WorldSays
WorldSays is a lightweight geographic polling experience: one question, one anonymous answer, and an aggregate view of how participating places respond.
How it works
WorldSays uses approximate network location by default. When you vote, you can optionally allow browser location so your vote can be assigned to the right locality more accurately. If you allow it, browser coordinates are used only for locality resolution and are not stored as raw latitude or longitude with the vote. If browser location is unavailable or declined, WorldSays falls back to approximate network location.
What the results mean
Results describe only voluntary participation. They are not a representative sample and should not be treated as scientific, demographic, medical, financial or political measurement. Small samples and approximate network geolocation can materially affect a place result.
A reusable engine
The same visual engine can present different two-choice polls and brands. Poll wording, supported languages, geographic pages, ranking data and renderer constraints are server-driven rather than embedded into the globe or map components.
Infrastructure and open assets
The frontend is delivered by Vercel. The API and vote processing run on Cloudflare Workers with Cloudflare D1 storage. Maps use MapLibre GL with OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap data. The night-Earth texture is a modified, quality-tiered derivative by Solar System Scope, licensed under CC BY 4.0.
