Self-hosted alternatives to AhaSlides
AhaSlides is a hosted interactive presentation tool with polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A and a spinner wheel for classes, training and events. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features AhaSlides describes on its own site.
