Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Eid Mubarak in advance to everyone celebrating next week!

My family just published Eid Under the Stars, a bilingual English & Arabic coloring book for kids ages 3–7. Each spread has a story paragraph in English, the Arabic script, and a romanized pronunciation guide — so even parents who don't read Arabic can read it aloud with their child. There are also vocabulary cards with little illustrated icons to teach words like lantern, dates, and prayer mat.

It's designed so kids color the Eid scenes while parents read the story — think of it as a read-aloud activity book.

They want to develop the plot of empty land next to Home Depot on the Hill, so here are some proposals I came up with of businesses I think would do good up there. The generated images include Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Kohl's, Dutch Bros, and Crumbl Cookies. I'm curious what's everyone's thoughts and if you have any other ideas please share!
