The Yes / No / Maybe list

Find where you overlap.

Mark each idea privately. Share your link with a partner and you'll see only where you both said yes, never each other's no's.

Nothing is saved or sent to a server. Your answers live only inside the link you choose to share. Close the tab and they're gone.
