Friend and I built https://druthers.app https://druthers.app, and we use it all the time to solve our own interpersonal disputes, as well as with family and friends. It hasn't got any quality-of-life chrome or meta-features such as logins, or bookmarks. We were reluctant, even, to add the sharing button, since obviously a person is already well-equipped to share a browser tab! (I kid! Of course users cannot be presumed to know the power of the device in their hands.)
It's fun, and works great for our purposes. Nothing can compete with it, in my book. Unfortunately, we haven't found a customer worth pleasing and, since we are well-pleased ourselves, we haven't found a reason to approach full-baked.
Edit: for demonstration purposes, "Who is the greatest band of all time?" https://druthers.app/#/de7ef4ea-35e6-4d0f-9b10-2945129eba2e https://druthers.app/#/de7ef4ea-35e6-4d0f-9b10-2945129eba2e
- tambourine_man 3y agoSeems interesting, but doesn't work in Safari latest. I get a blank screen.
- gavmor 3y agoA blank screen, or a "loading skeleton"? The app is peer-to-peer, so if none of the recent visitors have hit refresh to become the host the data will no longer be accessible. Terrible UX for you, but forever $0 hosting costs for me.
- shawndrost 3y agoSorry. Wat
- gavmor 3y agoI was mistaken, actually. Our p2p framework is resilient enough to reassign the "host" client without refreshing the page.
- tambourine_man 3y ago"loading skeleton" in Safari, working site in Chrome, all else equal.
- gavmor 3y agoAh, I appreciate that you checked a second browser!
- gavmor 3y agoLikely it will have "stopped working" by now, because it's peer-to-peer and none of you are sticking around long enough to become the host.

- zestyping 3y agoI'm confused. I can create a poll with a question and options, and then... ? If I share the link, it just lets more people edit the same poll. How does anyone vote?
- gavmor 3y ago> If I share the link, it just lets more people edit the same poll We've overloaded poll editing UI and the voting UI, so re-ordering items in the poll is how they vote. It's semantically gross, but it's ergonomically friendlier. Everyone can edit the poll to allow for "crowdsourcing." > How does anyone vote? Everyone asks this. It's not you, it's me. ;)
