We all live in a world where we are constantly faced with decisions. We are all confronted with the need to take decisions on various things as we go through life. However, that’s only in our personal experiences but in a world where social decision making is necessary, there has to be an avenue for making these decisions the right way.

One of the greatest issues in terms of making corporate and social decision is distrust and that’s why the creation of an avenue for such decisions to be made in such a way that no single person has the power to manipulate social decisions to their advantage is necessary. You don’t have to bear the burden of making crucial decisions alone. With Dpoll you can give every necessary stakeholder the opportunity to take part in decision-making processes. Trust me, it is truly decentralized.

Like I said earlier, in a world of complex and ever-rising need to decide on crucial matters that not only affects us but those who are around us, we need a system where decisions can be made without putting the burden on self or risking the commitment of such responsibility into the hands of an untrusted third-party.

Dpoll is no doubt, an amazing platform and one of the surest places to go if you every need other’s opinion on a subject (topic) or decision making processes.

The Website isn’t mobile responsibe in my opioin. I would like to see Dpoll on Android and iOS since those are the two easiest places to access the internet from. I may need to create a poll on the go and using a mobile application makes that very easy for me. However, users can switch to desktop view on mobile browsers such as Chrome and Firefox and still enjoy that amazing user experience.
