Nice tool! It would be nice to be able to go back and fix mistakes. For instance, on the first pass after entering something to consider I pressed Enter. I didn't even notice the "important" radio button, so the first choice got "somewhat important". It was actually super important and there was seemingly no way to fix it.

It’s fair to say the quality of the decisions this tool will enable is bounded by the ability of the user to make good decisions :-)Re: Show HN: Help Me Decide Please
#14Tip: if you input something and press "enter", it will reset the form. You should attach the event listener to the form's onSubmit, and not to the button's onClick.
fixed :) thanks for the feedback!

#18I love tools like this. Thanks for sharing it. It's nice to go through a process like that and feel extra-good about your decision. :-) It reminds me of a tool I used some time ago, the "Oracle" script at SimilarMinds.com. One difference is that the Oracle script used forced-choice based on baked-in global factors, even including how much a decision would affect your social standing, for example.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad it's useful :) I originally made it because I wasn't feeling confident in a direction I was about to take in life. I wrote it all down in a spreadsheet and actually changed my mind after doing a similar process!

Is there some book of best web dev practices where stuff like this is written down?
