I like the idea, but it needs a privacy policy. If someone answered 100 of those questions, the insight into their behaviour would be incredibly valuable to bad actors.
Guaranteeing anonymity would make this much better.

Guaranteeing anonymity would make this much better. Good point and yes, that’s something I’ve thought about a lot.
Right now, JuryNow doesn’t store any personal data or persistent user identifiers. The questions and votes are not linked to individuals in a way that would allow tracking behavior over time.
Still, I agree that a clear privacy policy is overdue even just to explain what isn’t collected. Thanks for raising this. I’ll prioritize adding it. There is a User Agreement, Liability, Disclaimer etc…but yes, need a privacy policy!

Great to hear!

Are these currently in place? I don’t see links to them on the homepage, or during the sign-up screen.
So can I self-host it, or are you just drive-by advertising in a vaguely-related forum?
Right now, JuryNow isn’t self-hostable. It’s a centralized browser app I built as a solo project (not a SaaS or open-source tool). I shared it here because it’s built in the spirit of minimal, fast, non-AI-driven tech , which I thought might be of interest spcicically on this community. .
That said, I’m open to ideas about making a self-hosted or federated version down the line if there’s interest. Appreciate the directness.
I’m curious how people here feel about the balance between anonymity and usefulness in something like this. If you think it’s a fun game or a useful resource?
The goal was to make something fun and meaningful, a way to see yourself from the outside and get a global perspective and get a little dopamine hit. It’s a sort of gamification of Solomon’s Paradox (the ancient king who gave brilliant advice for his people, but was disastrous at his own decisions!)
I’d love to know what kind of questions you would ask 12 strangers!
A bit of both for small decisions. I’d trust it with little things and for more important stuff it could work for the trick where you flip a coin and figure out which thing you actually wanted by gauging your reaction to the result.
Reloading the page results in me being asked to vote on the same questions again.
ooh! Thank you, fixing now!
Do you feel guilty when your phone battery goes below 40%?
I run it dead periodically so I can get a proper analysis on its overall health.
To the obsessed morons who refuse to go outside of 80%/20%: No, this doesn’t impact it in any meaningful way
“What should I eat right now?”
A1: Food
A2: Nothing
Always gets a unanimous vote for nothing
“Man, I wish you guys would let me eat…”
Fun idea. Seems like a lot of people are asking questions that have nothing to do with making a binary choice. I got a fair few “have you ever…?” questions that were about my personal life.
Thanks so much for playing!! you can really use it for a whole variety - from silly trivial questions, to a mini political poll knowing you are getting an answer in real time…and it’s great for fashion dilemmas as you can upload two images and get NOT your family/friends opnion!
Maybe if it gets popular you can implement categories of some sort? So people who don’t want to opine on certain topics can tap out before getting those questions
Does it work on Firefox?
workrd on FF here
I wonder if it is a plug in issue then
Couldn’t select answers on Firefox android.
works for me on Firefox mobile
oooh! I will have a look!
I wish I could find out (at a later date) how the overall vote turned out.
Did the jury decide on 2 days vacation or the money?
Neat idea, but most question askers seem to be shoehorning their questions into the binary format instead of thoughtfully considering what the actual binary choice would boil down to. The low quality of questions makes me not want to participate in the jury duty option. I wish I had a suggestion- I’m sure you want to keep things simple and accessible
Thanks so much for trying it out and your honest feedback! It’s definitely dependent on the quality of questions for the “fun” element, but knowing that 12 dvierse random people who aren’t connected to you in any way are looking at your question, can be extremely eye opening…connecting to random people around teh world - it’s sort of what the internet was intended for?
I might be a robot, I don’t know why but i can’t solve the captcha lol
I’d love to give this a try tho so maybe I’ll come back later
Just a random idea, but would you consider using anubis instead? (That new thingy that has been popping up lately, for example on the archwiki). I haven’t checked it out but I bet it’s also better on a privacy standpoint in respect to google’s captcha
oooh! Thank you! Uusually the RECAPTCHA is just a click? Will investigate right now!!
ReCaptcha is usually like 2-3 9x9 grids of images to solve, sometimes with ones that vanish and get replaced as you pick them. I think it often takes me at least 15-30 seconds to get through it, it’s a pretty annoying system for sure.
I think it’s also not remembering that I passed one, because if I reload the page it asks me to do another one.
I’m just getting:
Please moderate the content of your question before submitting it.
Hello Pageflight - It’s hard to moderate the questions for hate speech/sexual content etc… so I had to put a filter on, and indeed, it can be a little preventative…sorry! Will see if I can loosen it a littled!
How do you self host it?
I just spent a few minutes browsing and it was pretty fun! Love the very minimalist design and no requirements to sign up, etc. Just straight to the point for both those asking and those selecting.
Nice job all around!
If it’s too help with a decision maybe do an odd number of jurors to avoid a 50/50 decision
I don’t see this working as a tools but more like a funny/humorous pseudo-game tbh
Hello there, Thanks so much for playing! Indeed, I see it as a game - my daughter insists it’s not a game because you can’t win and there is no competition! It’s definitely fun getting your veredict - some mini dopamine hits there!
There should only be 12 jurors (maybe you’ve already done this). People should have to wait in a queue to join a jury of 12. Once you have 12 you all vote within 30 seconds. Everyone should see the results. If a jury is a hung jury, it ends up back in the queue. Majority wins. Users can only appeal once.
Basically it should mimic jury duty a little more closely. Right now, it just feels like you’re doing a survey.
Hello Captain! Thanks so much for playing firstly ANd for coming back to give feedback! The jury will always be 12, no more, no less…but the idea is to have a cycle of reciprocity, whereby you are asking and voting in a seamless 3 minutes! Indeed, this is a brand new MVP and still ironing out some bugs (my tech ironing skills are a WIP!) and I know what you mean about the survey part…But when you get your verdict, did it reduce that ‘survey’ feeling? Did you feel it was worth it to get your own answer? (I hope so!!)
It’s kind of a prude.
Fun little game. Good job.
Unfortunately my question got 6 yes and 6 no. So now I don’t know.
Oh wait, it updates in real time. That’s neat. Now it’s 8 yes and 4 no.
ooooh! That probably means you were just a few people short of a real jury! There are lots of people on now, so do try again …AND THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing!
I just reported a question, not because of the content of the question but because the buttons were formatted strangely and clocking on them caused the question to refresh. It was about cassettes vs CDs.
Other than that, this is pretty fucking legit. What a simple, fun, useful tool! And I mean simple as in “easy to explain,” not “easy to make.”
Thank you for sharing!!!
It’s down for me.
down, as in you don’t like it? or the server is down?
OP I think it’s just that your link has ‘but’ connected to the .app TLD so it breaks the link.
Cool idea though!
The link got merged with your sentence and links to an ending of .appbut instead of .app.
Wrong url! Remove the but……
Oh, your link is broken in the post itself I think
The amount of requests my browser is making to that website is insane. POST /elasticsearch/mget
every second. Looking at the response I see that the default (probably fake) questions have 1000+ answers.
Neat idea, but I keep getting the same questions over and over when im answering.
To anyone in my jury: I just got back from the store and realized I had forgotten something. I’ll live without it.
Why do people want to ask complete strangers instead of making their own decision?
That must mean that they value the opinion of total strangers more then their own. Isnt that a mindfuck.
My own decisions have certainly not always been the right ones. A bit of insight, even from strangers, can sometimes help.
On Firefox it’s doing a whole lot of loading and not much else.
It worked for me without any problems. I use basically vanilla ublock settings.

Very nice. Jury duty is fun. But I feel we need a third option for questions like: "I am a manager of company with 200 employees. We want to introduce a rewards system for perfect attendance (zero sick days or absences). Two days extra holiday or a financial reward."
Both answers suck, and the correct answer is, you're the a*hole for incentivising your employees to come in sick, and either infect other people as well or get worse.

An abstain, maybe? Would also be useful for questions that you won’t know enough to answer. Then if you keep getting hung juries you know you’re asking bad questions.

Thank you so much for playing!! It’s super exciting to see all this priceless feedback! I’m working on a SKIP button (thinking of a JOKER card to play, but maybe that’s confusing?)
twinnie@feddit.uk 9 hours ago
Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?
JuryNow@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Hello Sincerity! Thanks so much for playing JURY NOw! Indeed, I’m working on a SKIP button! (I don’t have a tech background so it’s taking a while but it’s my priority!!)
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 10 hours ago
Sure, I think that'll do. I mean I love to tell people on the internet that they're idiots... But a simple "Skip" would do, if OP fears this is going to drag down the place. On the other hand... Forcing people to pick an option has its benefits, too. But there's a limit with user generated questions.

Thank you so much for playing!! It’s going to be freemium model always, as in one free daily play for everyone forever…and then a premium version will include: 12 Flags to see where your jury is located, AND a 3rd option!
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 10 hours ago
Alright, seems fine. Just make sure you include some privacy statement if you handle the user's IP addresses and location. Or just give a rough location.
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 9 hours ago
I saw that one too and thought similarly!
JuryNow@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Thank you HEndrik! REally apprecaite you playing AND taking the time to write feedback!! Indeed, It’s always goign to be a FREEMIUM model (my new word of the year!) with one free daily play, and then to monetize it, there will be a premiuim version where you can see 12 flags from where you jury is from, AND have a 3rd options!
