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.

Important Edit

Someone got in contact with the shelter and the deadline was a misunderstanding, they don't automatically euthanize dogs after 5 days in difficult cases it's actually a legal waiting period to wait for the owner to claim the dog then they decide what is to be done with them which can sometimes mean euthanizing the dog if they are aggressive. The dog warden did mention a few times that euthanasia was a possibility to my relatives that had rehabilited the dog that relayed the information to me so it was mostly a misunderstanding. I apologize I do not want to unjustly villainize anyone, over sensationalize the situation or give false information. The situation is looking a lot more hopeful now and there are a lot of people invested in this lovely guys wellbeing, thank you all for helping him find a home.

Hello all there is a lovely dog currently in Tralee county council pound that badly needs a home even on a temporary basis as he only has three days left before he will be euthanized.

He's a very friendly dog but is scared of people as he clearly came from a neglectful situation and possible physical abuse. He arrived at a relatives of mine farm with a rope still around his neck, half his tail missing and skinny to the bone.

Full disclosure so that he can find the right home I wouldn't recommend any home with small children as while he's never been very aggressive, he did growl out of fear on first contact with people but it stopped once he knew he was safe. He also seems to almost anticipate danger sometimes when a hand is brought down to pet him as he gets a little scared and can mouth your hand to remove it if he gets overstimulated.

All of this is very easily trained out of him but time and care will need to go into that process as he has a long road ahead of him before he truly gets over what might have happened to him. He will be a great addition to any home and with time could absolutely be a family dog once he gets over his fears and he's so loving never wants to be apart from people despite his fear.

This was a sensational experience. Cloudy all day and then it cleared just in time for the eclipse

Been up here a bunch but I'm always curious what this round rock is. Doesn't seem natural. I was thinking it might be a mill stone but I dunno what good it would be to anyone on top of a mountain. I asked an archaeologist friend but she was stumped. Maybe someone here can help?
