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 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!
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 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!
ooh! Thank you, fixing now!
this is really interesting!! Thank you!
Thank you steve! Fixed it!! 😱
Thank you Carnelian! Fixed (reminder to self…check and then check again!)
THANK YOU Passing Through!! Most appreciated!!
down, as in you don’t like it? or the server is down?
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!
getting hacked in just 20 minutes due to a basic misconfiguration is alarming!
