Kuqus

We created Kuqus because we believe Gen Z needs a more engaging way to share their thoughts, free from boring surveys or biased comment sections. Our aim was simple: transform feedback into something fun, fast, and game-like. Instead of typical polls or star ratings, Kuqus uses a unique approach: pairwise comparison combined with reaction time. This lets us infer ranked preferences without users even realizing they're providing data. Think of it as a blend of Tinder's swiping and a smart ranking system, but for ideas. What's really special about our launch? We've implemented a real-time scoring algorithm, inspired by the Bradley-Terry model, that even considers how quickly users respond. Plus, with our privacy-focused, JWT-based survey IDs, creators can go viral effortlessly, with no account sign-up hassles. We're particularly proud of the incredibly smooth user experience, especially the auto-ranked insights, our SvelteKit-native server-side rendering (SSR) and R2 media proxying, and the early-stopping logic that keeps participants from getting tired.
