Peer Pressure

Imagine an app where you can just send a question, any question, and your friends take control by voting for the idea. You just obey whatever is the verdict.

Here's a few examples:

• "Should I date John?"

• "Should I buy the new iPhone?"

• "Should I accept the job offer?"

"Think about it, living like you don't have a brain... how comforting it must be."

Business Idea

Decision making support by surrendering control over to close friends.

Actors

2. System alerts Friends by displaying the new question.

3. Friend votes "yay" (upvote) or "nay" (downvote).

4. System displays the current verdict with the number of total votes (Nay, 357).

5. NMI accepts the verdict to end the voting process.

Supplementary Requirements

1. A popular social media platform is used for sign up and sig in / sign out.

2. Friends are retrieved from the social network.
