Good Job. I'm glad you were able to release.
I think it's kinda neat. I like the way you've approached collaborative decision making. I know you're just testing it with simple questions at the moment, but I'd really be interested to see how it would work with more complex issues. (Which target market should we pursue this quarter? Which candidate would make the best hire? Etc Etc)
One thing that strikes me is that it would probably work best as a part of another system, such as a PM system or bug tracker, or even in a e-vite style invite system.
I'm not sure how much value it would have just on it's own above cute curiosity... What's your long term goals with this?
Quick EDIT: I just saw the feedback from the SF or Indiana thread... obviously, some aspect of commenting seems to be something people are clamouring for... but I like your idea of bringing "factors" into play... something to play with I guess.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it definitely needs more relevant demo questions.
It could work as part of another system. We (or at this point, I) am not planning on building that other system so in the near future it's a stand alone application.
I hope to achieve value above cute curiosity, but I appreciate hearing that perception. The utility is when it becomes a habit to utilize this method for decision making rather than just deciding. How to train, convince and alter people's behavior to do so is the next challenge. I know my business partner and I began to value using it, not just because we built it.
The long term goal would be to move it away from the donationware model and provide varying levels of service for utilizing the tool. For instance, you get 5 decisions for free and if you want more then pay $X/month.
Yep, comments are on the long term goal list.

As it turns out he elected to pursue his doctorate. C'est la vie. The nature of our working relationship was that of the tortoise and the hare. Him being the super star coder, me being a jack of all trades but with slow, steady progress. After his departure, I carried forth in my clumsy fashion and "finished" our site. I'd love feedback from people, and to see if anyone finds it useful. No, I'm not spamming the internets with requests for testers seeing if I can ensnare users. I'm targeting the y-c crowd due to the nature of the users here.
Decisionero: what it is. A tool to get your ideas on the page to help you and a few people make decisions. We found it useful when sorting through various design decisions, for instance. http://decisionero.com
