Show HN: I built an iOS app that helps YouChoose faster (apps.apple.com)

Hey, This is Yash here. I built YouChoose because I was confused about how to have my eggs - scrambled or as an omelet. This made me realize.....

In life, we spend too much time thinking about our choices rather than making a choice. These things take up too much mental bandwidth that is better utilized elsewhere. In most circumstances, we just need to make the call - the more we delay, the more it exerts us.

Input your two choices. Hit the Choose button. And that's it. There's only one caveat - you can't go back (for the same choices).

YouChoose is my micro effort to introduce some randomness in people's life.

I am eager to hear your thoughts and comments!

Because tossing a coin was too hard.

True that! Having a visual representation in front of me helped me cement the decision. Can't compete with a good old coin toss though.

Why an app? That I have to install?

Why not a web app? Seems easy enough.

Fair point! I'm an iOS developer and like coding in Swift hence the app.

What’s your source of entropy? I don’t just need my indecision, resolved by an app, I need the feeling that my choice is being made for me by the cosmic background radiation!

When I have real breakfast decisions to be made I fire up random.org.

Haha. Thanks for introducing me to random.org.
