Getting Started

In this tutorial we’ll build a working poll application with Bialet. You’ll learn how to write Wren files, query a SQLite database, handle form submissions, and render dynamic HTML — all with zero configuration.

What we’ll build

A simple poll that lets users vote “Yes” or “No” and see live results with percentage bars.

• Vote page — Form with radio buttons, styled with Tailwind

• Results page — Progress bars showing vote distribution

• Database — SQLite table for poll options and vote counts
