Cool project, tho with a 28 character max on answers, I find myself unable to participate.

@sunny_thaper how many do you think it needs?
Sunny Thaper
@awt Haha, not sure I have a number but when I see "how would you solve student debt" my answer is very long. I'm sure that's not your intent with the product tho.

@sunny_thaper ok, I get it. Thanks for your input. Ya, I hoped we could just have a short title for the suggestion, and then the ideas that have interest could possibly have more discussion. We're hoping to enable chat as well so people can discuss the problem... Thanks for checking it out!!

Thanks for checking out Genius Cards! You can play in our "beta round" or Round #0 right now. We would love to get your feedback on what you like or don't like so we can make changes before starting our first official round later in the week. The game is simple: 1. Each round has a real-world problem to solve 2. Players choose the best solutions 3. Or, submit your own idea for feedback and a chance to win prizes 4. The highest voted solution for each round gets 50% of the prize 💰 5. The people how rank the winning solution highest split the remainder of the prize Benefits: - Fast to play 🕒 - Fun to see random problem/solution combinations 😎 - Get feedback on your ideas 💬 - Chance to win some pizza money 🍕 Here is a link if you want to check it out: https://geniuscards.xyz/beta/?re...

The UX is very confusing, you keep on seeing the same solutions and submitting your own when you don’t like any in a set doesn’t skip it

@randomrumblegen sorry for the confusion. That's a mistake...it's supposed to skip the set anytime you submit a solution. I'll fix this right away. Thanks for pointing it out and for trying it.

@randomrumblegen okay, that issue is resolved now I think. thanks again!

Really interest idea, but needs some refinement. 1. The voting is confusing at first. Took me a few rounds to understand how voting works. 2. The character limit it too restrictive. These are complex issues and real solutions can't be summarized in 28 characters. The summary needs to allow the length of a tweet and then a section for much more detail. 3. What happens with the best ideas? Aside from the chance of a small reward, why would someone want to spend time thinking of a thoughtful answer? Could quickly just become about the funniest or most sensational answer, rather than an actual solution.

@sbstern these are really good points - thanks for taking time to share them. 1. I see what your saying about the voting confusion...working on making that more intuitive. 2. Other people mentioned that and we may just need to make it longer 3. If enough people get involved, there could be significant incentive to provide a thoughtful answer. The plan is to split the reward; some to best legitimate solution, part to the funniest. That way it keeps it fun, but gives more incentive to real solutions. Additionally, I'm trying to work out some partnerships that will provide something more than prize money to good solutions. That way, founders with good ideas not only have validation that people like their idea, but they have other rewards (more to come on this as it develops) Thanks again...I'll try to address these things more

Quick update on the prizes for Round #0 - we will turn on prizes once we reach enough users, and the prize for the round will continue to increase from that point. Also, we will move to the next problem (Round #1) as soon as we hit a target number of users. Then it will be a more steady release of 2-3 rounds per day.
