getting hacked in just 20 minutes due to a basic misconfiguration is alarming!

Making WSL open source could actually lead to some useful contributions and better transparency overall ; and good for Linux tools?

Hello Turtle - Thanks so much for playing AND for your comments. Indeed, it was a dilemma because on the one hand, JuryNow is very much intended as an antidote to AI, instant veredicts made from real human input…but if one is launching an MVP where the 3 minute time limit is crucial to the entire concept, it needs to demonstrate that too…But on the plus side, when it works and there ae more than 13 players logged on, it is marvelous (i know it’s disappointing when it says simulated)! So i’m really looking to encourage more players. But thank you very much for your feedback, it’s highly apprecaited.

oh thank you!! I’d never heard of it! and it does have simalarities (although JuryNow is designed to just be played 3 minutes a day, otherwise if you play if for 20 minutes, one’s empathy/objectivity levels can plummet!) Thanks so much playing & for your feedback Teawreck!

Hello Wolf, Thanks so much for taking the time to play and for this generous feedback! The “negative” feedback when it’s so constructive like this, is incredibly valuable so truly grateful! The reason I posted this on Board Games is that i feel members here will have a more critical eye for games, and JuryNow is more board game that Grand Auto Theft! Indeed, it’s easy to post your question in a biased way to engineer the result to please, but I feel that when you are limited to one question a day, and after time, players will understand that subtle way of phrasing things and if they genuinely want an unbiased opinion, they will learn what works. The AI simulation (sadly) is a necessary part of this MVP (which is literally just launched!) because the MVP is really there to demonstrate how the game functions, but as soon as there are enough regular players across different time zones, it will be permanently abolosihed. Now the dropped question was one of the bugs and glitches that was sorted out in the very first phase of testing with family/friends months ago and I’m kind of aghast that it’s back! Argh…Thank you again so much for your time & thoughts!! much appreciated

Hello Enydmion, Thank you for trying it out AND for your feedback! It’s all super helpful to see who this appeals to and who it doesn’t! (my daughter insists it’s not a game because there are no winners or competition!) The idea is to get a verdict, rather than opinions, and to get it in real time from a fixed number of 12 who are not in your peer group and have not common interest…just 12 randomly selected people from around the world. But thank you thank you!

Thank you for playing Oka and for your feedback! It’s all super helpful. It’s designed more to help people through a decision paralysis, and to get a global perspective on their question - whether it’s a huge big one or something completely trivial. Just knowing that 12 people around the world have just focussed on your question, can guide you a little. But totally understand taht JuryNow won’t be for everyone and I really apprecaite your time commenting & trying it out!

Weird that this is being dragged here:Hey! I posted JuryNow here myself because I’ve always seen it as a kind of social judgment game (in the style of party/deduction-style mechanics. It’s not a tabletop game in the traditional sense, but it does share DNA with games like The Resistance or Wavelength (quick choices, group psychology, no commentary).

Totally fair if it’s not for everyone and i’m just exploring where the concept fits, and what types of players it resonates with. Appreciate the time anyone takes to check it out.

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)
