that's fair, but you can use it for lots more than just dinner decisions! I used it last weekend to decide what movie to go see with some friends and their kids.
Hi HN!

I built Settle It because small group decisions often turn into long message threads. Someone asks something like “Pizza or Thai?” and suddenly there are 20 back-and-forth messages before anyone decides.

The goal was to make something lighter than most poll tools: you type a sentence, it becomes a poll, and you share the link. No accounts or setup.

I’ve been using it with friends and family for things like dinner plans and movie nights and it’s been surprisingly helpful.

Curious if people here find it useful or if there are situations where you’d use something like this.

Good point. We'll look at making it public on GitHub, and how to encrypt the data and how to handle keys is something we're playing around with. Any ideas of what would make you more comfortable with the encryption?

Good point. It's hard to keep it small AND find a way to keep it going with some sort of revenue stream

Ask HN: Social Network for Geeks?

Would you be interested in an invite only social network for Geeks?If so, would it be to find others with similar interests, to share things you've made, find news other geeks find interesting, or something else?Are there any networks you currently use that already meet those needs?

Thanks for the feedback. The SMS link option is one that's definitely on the roadmap for the product.

Where did the process stop? Did you receive a confirmation code? Thanks for the feedback.

My proofreading sucks. Thanks for catching that.

We are in the process of adding more images and expanding the list of options. Thanks for the feedback.

It's an early developer preview right now. Pricing will come, but we're looking for feedback on what makes the most sense.
