Buy Jury
Want it? Put it on hold. Let your friends vote Buy or Skip.
What is Buy Jury?
Buy Jury helps you stop impulse buying. Put the thing on hold for 48 hours instead of buying it — paste a link, share from Safari, or snap a photo in the store. Send your friends one link: they vote Buy or Skip in a tap, no app needed, and can vote anonymously. When the hold is up, you decide, and every skip adds to your "money kept" total. A cat or dog companion (Coco or Kobe) keeps you company, and a nightly no-spend check-in builds streaks with a small circle of friends who see only the streak, never amounts. No bank connection, no ads, no affiliate links. Free to download; Jury Plus is $3.99/mo or $29.99/yr. iPhone only, made in Toronto.

I'm going to say something radical right now — I think it could be a fit for anyone's business and I think there's something out there that is a good fit for consumable... if you're very early stage and you're a subscription model a year or two in that might not be the right time.
Consumables Can Fit Any Business — Start With Pricing Experiments Before Virtual Currency
Sarah argues consumables — often dismissed as a gaming mechanic — have analogs in almost every app category. The sequencing matters: start with pricing and plan experiments (low complexity), then layer in small consumables (a podcast bundle, a 7-day pass), and only move to virtual currencies at maturity. The trap is jumping to full IAP ecosystems before mastering simpler monetization primitives.
Home Depot is a publicly traded company so you can look up their annual statements. They make more money on indoor garden than on any other product segment — more than lumber, paint, appliances. Roughly 11 billion dollars per year.
Validate market with Home Depot's public filings — $11B indoor garden
Before committing to the plant space, Alex pulled Home Depot's 10-K to confirm indoor garden was their top revenue segment ($11B/yr) and sized the broader US plant retail market at ~$100B. Public filings are a cheap, hard-numbers validation step most founders skip in favor of TAM-on-vibes.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
