This used to be a big thing with the pirate party in Germany before they started to wither away a few years ago.

Personally I think this would pretty quickly converge back to more traditional forms of democracy because I think it's unlikely that people directly participate in a lot of decisions and you get back to something comparable to the status quo in most existing democracies.

I think any system that wants to make accurate decisions based on aggregate preferences probably needs to be able to collect them passively rather than actively.

That's the beauty, they don't have to directly participate if they want to but they can at any time if they need to.
