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):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

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.

Route flibco Leuven-charleroi airport

Hi everyone! I’ve started a petition asking Flibco to create a direct bus between Leuven and Charleroi Airport 🚌✈️

Getting to Charleroi from Leuven is currently unnecessarily complicated, especially with luggage, and with so many students and internationals living here I think a direct connection would be really useful.

If you’d use this route too, please sign! The more signatures we get, the better we can show Flibco that there’s real demand 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Hey, my dad received a call from a recruiter for a manager role experienced with mainframe at big institution in Brussels. He worked more than 35 years in banking sector from kbc to fortis, and he never worked as free lancer, so I would love to know from experts if there is any how much he should ask as daily rate.

Drunk driver on a rampage with barely any consequences

How is it possible, that someone can destroy parts of a public garage while completely drunk, and not even have his licence revoked permanently and car confiscated? As I understand, his driving licence is just suspended for 2 weeks, and by September he will be able to do it again, with the same car.

Why rules for drunk driving are so extremely lax in Flanders, and Belgium, in general? Taking away licence and having to retake exams and driving school, along with confiscation of his car, seems like a very minor penalty for such a crime anyway.

DoRemy & Girafant daycare experiences

Hi Leuven! My girlfriend and I are expecting a baby in 2027. We've started looking into daycares in our neighborhood. We live close to DoRemy and Girafant, which seem like good options.

We are interested in experiences in general, but also have some specific questions:

Do they put blankets/stuffed animals/... in cribs with babies?
Do they use sit-in baby walkers and/or bouncers?
Is there air conditioning?

Are there any parents that have experiences with DoRemy or Girafant? Or do you live in the same neighborhood (southern part of Leuven) and have good experiences with other daycares? We'd love to hear from you!

Singles, how do you afford renting by yourself in Leuven?

Is it even possible to rent a place to live which is spacious enough so your bed doesn't end up next to your kitchen sink, and doesn't end up taking half of your wage? rip singles in this economy
