Seconding this recommendation.

The idea of solving this issue at a societal level is really daunting, but Playborhood was an empowering read as a parent. It makes the case that, at least for your children and your (hyper-local) neighborhood, you can create conditions that significantly change your kid's childhood (and mental well-being) for the better. And it provides actionable steps and examples to do that, rather than just bemoaning the state of the world.

Does anybody have a theory as to why Seattle's startup ecosystem is so bad compared to all of its other metrics?

I moved here a few years ago and it feels like the culture nudges people away from defining their life based on their work (compared to SF/NYC at least), but that feels like a generally handy-wavy explanation. Presumably there's enough MS + Amazon money floating around to get a decent angel/venture scene started.

Hey, thanks for checking it out!

Definitely planning to randomize the order. This is next on my todo list whenever I get back around to this site.

Adding your own choices is tricky UX-wise, because if person A votes, then person B votes and adds a new choice, person A's vote never took the new choice into account. When using this personally with friends, I've just aggressively solicited ideas beforehand to get around this. Definitely not a perfect solution though.

I really like the "I'm not voting for this" idea. Also, that would let you just click your votes in order, rather than having to sort a list. Will explore this idea!
