Now yrpri.org is a web app that is easy to use, scales well on smartphones, tablets and computers and free to use. The community has over 11.000 registered users, with more than 6.000 ideas generated and over 10.000 arguments for and against ideas submitted.

A host of municipal governments use YRPRI for participatory projects, such as crowdsourcing ideas or participatory budgeting. Civil Society organisations and NGOs also use the platform, including the Norwegian Consumer Authority, Forbrukerradet.
