I've been experimenting with one as well (https://www.plantdietlife.com/) I'm getting a lot of interesting from physicians interesting in plant based nutrition. I'm curious where diet's based on plants and biotech will merge. My buddy shared this (https://campaign.soylent.me/soylent-free-your-body)

"Soylent is a food substitute intended to supply all of a human body's daily nutritional needs, made from maltodextrin, rice protein, oat flour, canola oil, fish oil, and raw chemical powders." -Wikipedia

The Story Wars are the battle to be heard in today’s overcrowded media marketplace. In the fray, you either tell stories that inspire people to act and share or you get immediately forgotten.

But it’s not just marketers who sell ideas, causes or products who need better stories. Our audiences desperately need to receive them. Ours is a global culture in search of new stories to give our lives meaning and hope. That’s why those willing to tell – and live – the truth in the timeless language of great storytellers will rule the future. Winning the Story Wars will show you how.[http://winningthestorywars.com/]

Hi Chris, I agree, underdogs deserve their shot at the title. I actually duplicated the functionality of Hacker News at (www.plantdietlife.com) with an emphasis on plant based diets.

I think one way to address the great idea you're bringing up is to use the code I have produced for PDL (voting algorithm and all) and create another site that's only for peoples personal projects. We can have some sort of verification process where the submissions have to be approved as a "personal project" to be on the home page. Once the item is on the home page we'll demand that it needs a certain amount of comments/likes in order for it to be removed and for the next personal project to appear.

IDK, it's just a quick idea. I look forward to seeing how this vision of yours progresses.
