Weighted Pros and Cons

Weighted Pros and Cons

Make better pros and cons lists.

3 followers

A list of pros and cons is a great way to make decisions; the main problem is that not all pros and cons are equal -- they don't carry the same weight. Weighted Pros and Cons solves this: you can now make pros and cons lists and assign a value to each item.

I love making lists of pros and cons whenever I'm making a big decision. The problem with pros/cons is that not all pros and cons are equal, so I made a simple tool that allows you to assign a weight to your pros and cons. This website is also a PWA so it's installable as both a desktop and mobile app! It will also save your last list for future visits.

Not a bad idea. I have done a little test, but as soon as I have more than two items, I cannot see totals anymore. Screenshot:

@robingood Oh, good catch! I can't seem to reproduce that bug...what browser are you using? I've only tested in Chrome, so it might not work perfectly in other browsers. I will look into this.

@stephen_brown_bourne1 Sorry I didn't mention that: I am on Chrome on Mac OS Catalina.

Really great simple app. You gotta fix a few things when entering lists quickly with the keyboard: 1. After hitting enter, focus the input to the "new pro" or "new con" text input. 2. Allow the user to hit enter from the "new pro" or "new con" text input. If they haven't entered a specific weight, just default it to 1. This allows people to quickly make a list just by writing the pros out and then the cons out, without worrying about weighting. They can adjust that later. 3. When I hit the Tab key from the weight input of the Pro column, it should take me to the "new con" text input field. Quick fixes that will make it much more usable. I hope that helps!

Add some spacing at the bottom after the main content div. Add some simple instructions at the top of the page.

Seems the website is deleted now. A shame because I really enjoyed it.

@akuvos I let the domain expire -- I didn't realize anyone was still using this! You can still access it at https://weighted-pros-and-cons.v... though, hopefully that works for you. Let me know if there are any minor bugs/features you'd like added; sorry about the domain going away!
