  1. Oldlunk, thanks for the support! If you don't see dishes already added in the restaurants you visit, make sure to add what you discover to help future hungry vegans!
  2. Zel, I'm sorry to hear that you found it laborious to upload a dish to the site. What can we do to make it easier for you in the future? The site is constantly evolving, and suggestions for improvement are very appreciated! I completely understand leaving behind Facebook; I've taken temporary leaves of absence as well, but I always seem to be drawn back in. From your modified screenshot above, I take it that you're frustrated with the slow growth of the site in your area. Unfortunately, neither our wallets nor our stomachs are large enough to allow us to fly around the world and add every vegan dish at every restaurant ourselves. So we depend on the community to help the site grow. Thank you for adding the dishes that you have; we truly appreciate it.
  3. Also thanks C.O. (Dylan) and Compassion! Your enthusiasm makes all the difference to us, revving us up to put in another good day of work.
  4. Thanks so much for the suggestions, Zel! I really appreciate that you took the time to write out a detailed post, and the solid examples really help. I wasn't aware of Couchsurfing's history, so I'll definitely do some reading on that. We do want to incorporate some social networking features, and actually were just discussing yesterday about creating a badge system. I can certainly see the merit in adding these kinds of features. We want to make the site really fun to use. We're building everything from scratch, with just one developer, so these things take time. But we are releasing new features frequently, and your input has a big effect on how we prioritize our list of 118 things we want to build! We frequently run polls and seek feedback on our Facebook page. I'd love it if you'd join there, so we can hear from you as things progress. Cheers!
  5. When I was a new vegan, I used to hang out on vegan forums all the time. I didn’t know any vegans in the “real world,” and so I spent a lot of time online, asking questions, venting, and supporting other newbies. It helped me to feel more connected to others and reassured me that while my ideas about non-violence might differ from my friends’, I hadn’t jumped off the deep end yet. Years later, some of the most common questions I hear from new vegans are about dining out. So I want to share with you the website my husband and I created for vegans and the vegan-curious all over the world. http://www.veganfoodiseverywhere.com/ It's (probably) the world's first vegan food spotting website. Our goal is to put every vegan dish, at every restaurant in the world, on a big Google map. We already have dishes in Canada, United States, Australia, China, France, Singapore, England, India, and many more! And you can help! Maybe you have photos of what you ate on vacation. Maybe you’re going out to eat tonight. Snap a photo of your meal, jot down what it’s called on the menu, and share it on the site. You can share dishes without signing up, or you can choose to create a user account first. If you create an account you'll be recognized as the discoverer of each dish you share, you’ll be able to comment on dishes, and you'll have access to lots of cool new features we'll be launching soon. If you "like" Vegan Food Is Everywhere on Facebook, you can be a part of discussions which will shape the future of the site. We are really looking forward to hearing your feedback, because without you, a vegan map of the world would not be possible! Imagine being able to walk into any restaurant, anywhere in the world, whipping out your phone, and seeing a custom menu with only dishes that are vegan or can be made vegan. Or imagine you're a new vegan, you're travelling, and you want to find all nearby restaurants with a few vegan options. Or imagine that you aren't vegan, but you want to try being vegan for a meal, just to see what it's like. That's what we're working towards. Vegan food really is everywhere, and with your help we're going to put it on the map!
