Key Points and Questions to Ask

Questions

‣

Is there a way to do a JokeRace without charging people to vote or submit?

Is the JokeRace software all open source or only a part of it?

Perhaps a free version can be forked?
if only some is open sourced, then what would be missing?

This may be the JokeRace business model right now- to earn 50% of all of the fees. In this case, it’s like their service charge to allow us to use JokeRace.
These fees are a barrier and free is better, but it isn’t super high and could be worth it.

It does add up though… say if i propose 4 topics a week then it costs 10 dollars a week or 40 per month… which is a lot but could be worth it if it makes the events much better

If others propose topics and I take half of the earnings then it could be profitable for me. I’m not sure if i’d want to take profit here but it could work (and that might be weird to explain at the events), but it could potentially be a good revenue opportunity for fractal hosts like me in the long term

Review tweet about this in Respond or DM David Phelps about jokerace demo - Sounds fascinating! I host three game shows a week and am interested in using JokeRace. Is there a video recording of this demo?

At this stage we’re not worried about spam and free topics+votes would generally be much better to encourage more participation. Perhaps it makes more sense to use this kind of revenue model as the community grows and many people want to

What is the ranked choice voting algorithm? How many votes get distributed to the top option compared to the second top and so forth?

Can it be integrated into our app? ie a town hall app UI branding instead of JokeRace branding?

Is the first version functional?

Test if the first version of JokeRace enables free Contests

Key Points

Safari allows me to create poll with OPF, whereas firefox did not

The features that allow anyone to submit topics seem like they may work much better than snapshot currently does

It works on Safari but not firefox
