+Matrix/Element support client-side widgets, like [Polls][polls].
+polls are done 100% client-side, using ordinary events with the "m.poll" type.
+unfortunately, that means the rendering is hard-coded into the client;
+there's no generalizability.
+
+widgets might be the generalization for polls.
+documentation is scattered:
+- `#matrix-widgets:matrix.org` to ask for help
+- [aggregated links](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/20669#issuecomment-1367623830)
+- ["widgets, the book"](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/pull/825/files)

+        - this is what the above links were based on
+- [semi-official "sticker picker" example widget](https://github.com/matrix-org/simple-stickerpicker-widget)
+- [Widget JS API/library](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-widget-api)
+        - though, this might work *only* in the web version of Element?
