Why not Doodle?

Doodle finds a date. Hammertime finds a decision.

Doodle is awesome at one thing: finding a time that works for everyone. But most group decisions aren’t about when.

Where should we go? What should we eat? Which movie should we watch? For questions like these, a yes/no poll picks what the majority wants – even if it’s the one thing a friend can’t stand.

What’s different

  • Nuance instead of yes/no. Rate options from “it’s OK” to “love it”.
  • Vetoes protect the minority. One “I’m out” weighs more than a pile of stars.
  • A clear winner. The ranking shows what the whole group is happiest with.

There’s a great explanation of this approach in this blog post: A different way to group decisions.
