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.
VERY rough location! country only!
Thank you!! this discussion is just HEAVEN getting live feedback! Been working on the idea fo 16 years (and then finally this last year to actually make a live app!) but it’s so exciting to see people play!
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!!)
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!
Can you tell me what you mean here please? JuryNow® is Trademarked in every country!
SKIP button is being worked on I promise! And thank you for playing Kraiden (and putting up with teenage drama!!) It’s also great for the teenager to get a different persective…AND I must say, there will be questions you will want a couple of teenagers to vote on in your jury too! The best juries are the most diverse (in terms of age, culture, countries, professions etc)
It’s going to really depend on the amount of traffic to make this possible but the idea is to get a totally diverse jury answering questions on anything…i.e. the opposite of somewhere like Reddit where you you pick your communities. So you have a true cross section of our world answering you and get a global perspective that is nothing like your peer group. For that to happen, one needs to answer all the questions as best as you can. And when it launches properly, it will be one free question a day which will also bring a different element…If there are 50,000 people playing at any given time (this is what i’m hoping for this year! i’m very hopeful and very optimistic!) then you will have far less “juryduty” time! But anyway, a HUGE thank you for playing and for your feedback! I’m keeping a note of every comment!!! It’s gold!
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!!)
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!
Thank you Ratatouile! There is currently a REPORT button, but indeed, i really see a high priority need clearly for SKIP! Do you think it would be confusing to have it as a Joker Card that you can play once (to skip) or does it just need a SKIP button (that you can only use once)
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. 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!
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!
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!
oooh! Thank you! Uusually the RECAPTCHA is just a click? Will investigate right now!!
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?
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!
oooh! I will have a look!
Thank you so much! I am indeed working on a SKIP button!
No, The Nazi Platform in the 1930s was not “let’s relocate these Jews”. It was very clearly set out that they wanted to eliminate all Jews from the face of the earth, and have a pure race untainted by Jewish blood. That’s why they killed anyone that even had a Jewish grandparent. They systematically swept Europe’s Jewish population, children, women, elderly and murdered them in concentration camps. 6 million. All documented. The Nazis would tell Jews in deportation camps that they were sending them to work camps, while forcing them on trains that took them directly to Auschwitz and 40 other death camps.
You must get your facts correct before you apologise for the Nazis. It’s not “maybe at the end of the war”…It was always the agenda of the Nazis to kill every single Jew and they were incredibly efficient and successful. Killing 6 million people is an unfathomable task, and sadly much of Europe was complicit, unaware, frightened.
