    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.




  • 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!!)




  • 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!



  • 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!



  • 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!





  • 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?
