I’ve been working on a browser-based decision tool called JuryNow.
You submit a question with binary options (yes/no or A/B): it could be a moral dilemma, fashion choice (you can upload 2 images), or big life decision, a political poll, or maybe you want a global objective perspective on a family argument?
You will receive your verdict in 3 minutes
While you wait 3 minutes, you “pay” with JuryDuty, anonymously vote on other people’s questions. There is no commentary, no discussion or debate, just a binary verdict.
Then you get your own verdict: 12 strangers from around the world give you a decision. Just human input , fast and anonymous.
It’s free to try, and no sign-up is needed. You can also play a round of JuryDuty to get the idea.
would love to hear your feedbac! (gently does it, I’m a 58F and this is my first game which has taken me 16 years from idea to MVP!)
👉 https://www.jurynow.appbut/ as it’s a brand new MVP and i have just launched, if there are less than 13 people playing, your verdict will be simulated, but this is just a temporary feature which I need to demonstrate JuryNow’s functionality and it will be permanently dismantled as soon as there are regular players across different time zones!
Does it work on Firefox? Seems to not work for me.
workrd on FF here
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!!!
ETA: I just got served either the same question twice (with a different question between each time), or found duplicate questions. If the same question twice, I’d be concerned about individuals skewing results. If a duplicate question is being submitted, it might be helpful (albeit slower) to run word matches against strings and then check the IP address of the submitter (if you record that) on anything with over 90% match and then let that user know they’ve already submitted this question.
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
It’s kind of a prude.
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!
It’s down for me.
down, as in you don’t like it? or the server is down?
The link got merged with your sentence and links to an ending of .appbut instead of .app.
Hehe app butt
Don’t mind if I do! 🍴
THANK YOU Passing Through!! Most appreciated!!
OP I think it’s just that your link has ‘but’ connected to the .app TLD so it breaks the link.
Cool idea though!
Thank you steve! Fixed it!! 😱
Wrong url! Remove the but……
Thank you!!
Server
this is really interesting!! Thank you!
Nvm the hyperlink had but and I didn’t see.
Oh, your link is broken in the post itself I think
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?
So can I self-host it, or are you just drive-by advertising in a vaguely-related forum?
JuryNow is not open-source or self-hostable, and won’t be.
This is a personal project I’ve developed over many years (16), and I’m still shaping where it goes. I shared it here because it’s lightweight, browser-based, and real-time and not because it’s federated or designed for open deployment.
I fully respect the open/self-hosting ethos but this is NOT that, and I’d like to be upfront about it.
How do you self host it?
Do you feel guilty when your phone battery goes below 40%?
- Yes, oh shit, I need to charge!
- No, fuckit, let it run dead.
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!!
i had to do traffic lights
ReCaptcha is usually like 2-3 9x9 grids of images to solve, sometimes with ones that vanish and get replaced as you pick them. It often takes me at least 15-30 seconds to get through it.
I think it’s also not remembering that I passed one, because if I reload the page it asks me to do another one.
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.
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.
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.
