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.

What's Going on in Fairbanks This Week? Week of- October 05, 2026

It's Monday. Summer is winding down. Time to start thinking about doing all of the "getting ready for winter" you've been putting off all season. Time to be filled with existential dread for the cold darkness that will soon enough envelop us all...

So, in the spirit of ignoring that here's a place to mention any sort of event/meeting/whatever that people might not know about and might not warrant it's own post. Hopefully somebody has the something to help you keep procrastinating!

Recently had an argument about pigeons and doves being the same scientific bird and the person I was arguing with didn’t agree but was thinking about it this morning when low and behold he saw one here in Fairbanks among the pigeons. 👀 when did we get doves????

Gauging community interest in donation-based labor this winter (mainly snow shoveling)

Hi friends. I’m a seasonal firefighter and have the winters off - starting now.

I’ve been mulling over all summer offering to shovel snow for folks during the winter for donations since times are hard, and I’d like to earn a little cash on the side. My main reason not getting a “real job” is to maintain the flexibility to come & go as I please, like making random trips to sunshine and warmth.

I wanted to get a pulse on how successful or unsuccessful this venture could be. Do you think I could hang flyers in town and would it interest people?

I don’t have many other skills other than knowing how to do manual labor. But I figured snow shoveling could be a start. Ideas and feedback are welcomed.
